MORE CHALLENGES...

 "Love...from my heart to yours!"

The sweet masked girl above was inspired by the blog challenge groups, CRAZY AMIGOS and THINK MONDAY-THINK ATC...their task today was to create a heart-themed piece.

TAKE A WORD wanted us to take a stroll down the old-fashioned lane... I strolled three times!!

COLLAGE OBSESSION was obsessed with sports this week...

I'm especially attached to the above piece as it's all about my super sporty grandson...need I say how proud I am of him?

INSPIRATION AVENUE was all about THE DIVA this week...my DIVA is a French model...La Diva...

THREE MUSES issued a real challenge this week... the theme is BIRDS, but part of our piece had to have a bit of it outside the frame...

Finally, on PAPER TRADERS ART BLOG, a nostalgic theme of  LACE inspired me to create this...

I really appreciate your stopping by...I realize that viewing someone else's art isn't everyone's cup of tea, so a BIG THANK YOU! I sooo appreciate your encouragement!

Hugs...'til the next,

ANCIENT...and NEW BEGINNINGS

 "ONE LOVE,  47 YEARS... MY HUSBAND"

Wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you find yourself surrounded by loved ones...

Some interesting challenges on the art blogs this week...of course, LOVE is the theme for a few:

4X4 FRIDAY's Heart and Home...

At SUNDAY POSTCARD ART, My Heart Belongs to You is the theme...

SPRING seems to be an ongoing theme and that's not surprising...around this time each year, those of us who live in "snow country" are yearning for that season of renewal...of green! Of course, this year, for those of us in Central New York, there has been so little snow that we can't complain (not that I would complain...LOL!)

INSPIRATION AVENUE challenged artists to think of IMBOLC (we learned in last week's blog entry, that this means spring awakening...)

Awakening Spring

Her sweet song is everywhere...

A promise to come

SOARTFUL CHALLENGES didn't actually declare their theme to be SPRING (it was "red, pink and white.") I chose to  interpret it to reflect Spring with a picture of a robin on a windowsill...

Finally, THINK MONDAY-THINK ATC required us to study FOSSILS and create a piece of art around them...

Enjoy your days 'til we meet again. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your encouragement and support...

xox,
