HOGRET (MARGARET)
May 16, 2014 
Hi There,
This is a quick posting about a new artist (for me...) Her name is Margaret and she's a collage artist from South Africa. She has many styles...all colorful and interesting. At Flicker's challenge group, DIGITALMANIA, we studied her art and created pieces in one of her fabulous styles. These are my creations...all fun to do and certainly, a challenge!
Enjoy... and thanks for your quick stop-by!

Hugs until my next,

PLAYING WITH ART
May 13, 2014 
Hi Family and Friends,
I trust your week has started on an up note...I've spent some of my time trying to work the pounds off at the gym, keeping my limbs and muscles stretched and loose, finishing a book that I loved (Sue Monk Kidd's THE INVENTION of WINGS) and creating some challenge blog digital art pieces on the computer. I'd like to share them with you.
SUNDAY POSTCARD ART asked for a creation with DOORS...I used a piece of graffiti I photographed long ago in Barcelona, Spain, put it on a door I photographed in Italy, and added a Central New York dog...
Next, TAKE A WORD was thinking back to times of CHILDHOOD...so was I, creating a mixed media and photoshopped piece...
and finally, for THE THREE MUSES, they challenged participating artists to create POSTAGE STAMP PEOPLE... I used the same stamp for both because I couldn't decide which to use...


Thanks for checking in...enjoy the rest of your week.
'Til my next,
Hugs,
abbyj
