NEW ART...and FLOWERS ON PARK

New Challenges...and SPRING? 
March 16, 2011 

It's been such a busy time...not much time in one place...NOT conducive to good and regular blogging!! Those art blogs continue to challenge my artistic soul so I managed to eek out a few responses...
THREE MUSES asked artists to create a piece around a FISH theme...and TAKE A WORD requested art around the color GREEN...I thought this piece worked for both!
SUNDAY POSTCARD ART's theme was NUMBER 1...
One of my regular online art groups, PAPER TRADERS, announced its current word prompt for our journals...COURAGE. I'm not sure whether the skateboarder (an image transfer) in this piece is COURAGEOUS or STUPID!!!

CRAZY AMIGOS asked that we create a "buttons and lace" piece... not a "buttons and lace" kid but cute, loving and perfect, nonetheless!!

 In New York City, SPRING has sprung on Park Avenue with beautiful, huge rose sculptures along much of the length of the street. In various shades...some with and without thorns and bugs, they certainly create the feeling that spring isn't far away. Take a look...


New York continues to be a most amazing, exciting and vibrant city...
EVEN in the rain!


Thanks for checking in...'til our next,  xox, abbyj

    The green fish art is wonderful. I love it, and it's perfect for both Three Muses and Take A Word! I enjoyed seeing your other art entries, and I LOVED the rose sculptures of New York. Wish we had them here! Thanks for joining us this week!

    All pieces are great. The fish is kind of funny but a bit scary too. The courage piece is so beautiful. Love the colors and the composition. The NYC photos are wonderful, especially the one of the Manhattan Bridge with its blue tones.

    Oh wow, now there is definitely some eye candy here. I love your take on both the Three Muses fish and the Take a Word Green and thank you so much for sharing them. Of course everything else is worth a comment too including that fabulous street sculpture in NY.
