MAINLY VINTAGE...and BAOBABS
February 18, 2014
Hi Dear Ones!
Still experiencing more snow than we've had in a very long time...a part of each day seems to be devoted to snowfall!! Beautiful and cold...I'm loving it!
The current art challenges don't reflect this winter wonderland at all. In fact, Flicker's DIGITALMANIA requested a botanical theme in art journal format ...my art was based on a photo of a BAOBAB tree that I took in Africa. Note the beautiful Malachite Sunbird on one of its branches. Baobab trees live for thousands of years.
The one in this photo is young and small...
in comparison to THIS one...and this isn't the largest I've seen...(just can't find the photos of the larger ones! )
They're amazing trees that give food (with their bark as well as their fruit) and shelter to the animals of the savannah.
COLLAGE OBSESSION asked for an art piece with some handwriting. I combined this request with TAKE A WORD's challenge for a piece with something vintage...here's what I came up with....
