| Stop looking at me...GO AWAY!
I know...it's the week after Thanksgiving but this turkey is STILL hanging around our house with his pals. I don't mind when they're around the house, but I DO mind when they stop and look into my office window at me. Here we are...eye to eye... neither of us, particularly friendly!! Don't know what I was doing that was so interesting...
Blog travel leader from Art and Sole's POSTCARD CHALLENGE, Darcy, invited us to explore Argentina this week. What a forward-looking, interesting country. It's the birthplace of the TANGO, home to the counterpart of our American cowboy...the GAUCHO, home of the 2nd EVER world radio broadcast, the world's 3rd largest beef and 5th largest wine producer, and the homeland of one Eva Duarte de Peron...EVITA!! Further, it boasts a literacy rate of 97.6% ...and soccer is the preferred sport.
  
The art of British born artist, Nickie Newfield is DIGITALMANIA's artist of the week. I tried to create images in a similar style to hers...she's a painter, collage artist and her latest work combines lots of rich texture, a variety of layered papers, renaissance and religious images...and often, metallic paint. Since I can't paint, I did what I could digitally...
 
I wish you all a pleasant weekend...with no turkeys watching you from your windows!!!
'Til the next, I send you hugs,

Well, the turkey is certainly ugly; I wouldn't want him looking in on me. I particularly like the second piece in the Nickie Newfield style.
