ART and SOLE CALENDAR CHALLENGE...MAY 

May 1, 2015 

Happy May Day Everyone! Don't know where this year is going...I haven't moved on from the beautiful snows of winter yet, but I'm definitely in the minority on that! The months are flying by...maybe that has something to do with age???

This month's calendar challenge from ART and SOLE required participants to make marks... scratching or stamping... into texture paste or thick gesso. I used a bit of both...GOLDEN products. We had to keep part of the original calendar image in our completed piece while adding an image that depicted our star sign (horoscope.) I'm a Gemini, the sign of the twins! Here's the original calendar art by a Canadian artist, Maurice Brazil Prendergast. It looks very  Cezanne-ish to me!  He lived from 1858-1924.

Here's my piece of art for the month of May...

Thanks for stopping by and checking in! I hope to see you next time...

Big Hugs,

DIGITALMANIA 

May 4, 2015

DIGITALMANIA is a Flicker online art group  that challenges artists to be inspired by the style of a different artist each week. It's great fun and often quite a stretch to create a piece of art in his/her style. This week: INGRID POMEROY, a wonderful digital artist, specializing in altering vintage photos. This is an example of her art...

Here are some pieces she inspired me to create...

Creating art feels good. It feeds my heart and soul. I hope you have something in your life that does the same...

Thanks for stopping by. See you next time???
