WINGS, GRAFFITI and NEW ARTIST 
July 15, 2015 
Hi dear family and friends. 
I hope this posting finds you well and that life is good for you at the moment!! Day by day...moment by moment, right?
Some fun challenges for this posting...
THE THREE MUSES challenge blog has declared its theme to be one of my most favorite things...street art or graffiti...good graffiti. I must say that wherever we travel, whenever I see some good street art, I am driven to stop and photograph it, no matter how inconvenient. Lesson: don't travel with me!! (Smile!) First I created my street art piece...
then I put it where a graffiti wall would be...too much fun!! Thanks, THREE MUSES!!
 TAKE A WORD asked for something with wings so I created a little cherub of a boy...who knows where his wings will take him as he journeys through life?
Finally, for Flicker's DIGITALMANIA, we were challenged to be inspired by a new artist...new to us. Her name is JANE MAXWELL and she's a mixed media artist from Boston, Mass. She was suggested to me by my dear friend, Susan, in a discussion about art and artists. She has an interesting style...one that must be well received as she exhibits her art all over the world. I don't LOVE her art, but it was certainly a fun challenge to create some pieces in her style. Here a a couple of her pieces...

and here are a couple of mine. They were certainly fun to create, but very definitely an exercise in stretching for me!

Thank you for coming by. Please DO visit again.
Wishing you days that make your heart smile...
Big Hugs,
