MID-JUNE...already!

Hi Family and Friends,

This is a quick posting in honor of Father's Day and to celebrate my introduction to a new artist. I posted a couple of pieces I did  in the style of  STEPHANIE LEDOUX last time...I LOVE her work, so I've done a few more. They're for a Flicker art challenge group called DIGITALMANIA :  

Finally, I'd like to wish all the Fathers and Grandfathers a Happy Father's Day. Hope the day finds you surrounded by loved ones...whether you're a father or not!!

This last piece is answering a challenge from two online art groups...CRAZY AMIGOS and SUNDAY POSTCARD ART! Check out the other art on those blogs.

Enjoy your weekend. Hope to see you for my next posting.

xoxoxo,

ALL ABOUT ART...

Happy Monday, Family and Friends! I trust that you had an enjoyable weekend...

 

There are a few art challenges I'd like to share with you... fun themes... like this one:

COLLAGE OBSESSION asked to see art about brothers and sisters. I used an old photo of my Father and my Aunt... 

 

SOARTFUL CHALLENGE blog was interested in owls...

THINK MONDAY-THINK ATC requested art with columns. I remembered a scene in Petra, Jordan, and played with it... amazing buildings carved of sandstone, centuries old.

 

Finally, Flicker's DIGITALMANIA introduced us to the art of Stephanie Ledoux. From Toulouse, France, she's a traveler, a journaler and a designer...a wonderful artist who incorporates bits and pieces of the life of each person in her portrait collages. These two pieces were inspired by Stephanie's style of art... one is of a man we met in China and the other is a member of one of my Ethiopian families. I'm sure I'll be doing more in her style as I really enjoy her art! It's personal, recording the people as well as memories surrounding them.

 

 

Wishing you a good week...and that you get more sunshine than we've had. It's been raining here for the past several days!!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Big Hugs,
