BLOG ART CHALLENGES

May 7, 2015 

"If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands? "   Milton Berle  

Happy Mother's Day to those amazing dear ones, alive in our hearts always. I wish you a pampered day... one that makes your heart sing! (The art piece above, "Splish Splash," I created for the TAKE A WORD challenge blog in honor of Mother's Day.)

DIGITAL WHISPER challenge blog requested we create art including a train... one of my favorite subjects. Here's what was entered... 

 

MIX-IT-MONTHLY's chosen theme: A Happy Couple. To me, this represents a couple who has been married a long time, living through thick and thin TOGETHER!! In this piece, they're braving a rainy day...

and here's a young couple doing the same...

THE THREE MUSES was interested in a piece of art featuring a chicken or similar fowl...

Finally, last but definitely not least, Flicker's DIGITALMANIA ,asked us to be inspired by artist DJ Pettitt... someone with whom I've taken a workshop and consider my friend. A very talented artist and easy to be inspired by... Here's an example of her art...

and here are my two pieces inspired by DJ's style...

Thanks for checking in (again.) Please do return. I love sharing my art and thoughts with you!

Hugs and love,

REMEMBERING...and CHALLENGES

January 28, 2014

 



Hi Dear Ones,

For me, the month of February is a special time for remembering two of my closest and dearest...  my Mom's birthday was February 3rd...she gave me my love of music... and my Nana's was February 12th...she taught me how to love! In the photo above, there are four generations of women on my Mom's side...my Mom, Nana, Michelle (at 1 year 5 months,) and me! If we were to make that photo today, there'd be  an additional  generation... Michelle's daughter, Lilly, now 9!



 

On to the art challenges...TAKE A WORD asked to see something about "couples..." My art turned to romance!

 

SUNDAY POSTCARD ART only wanted to see "faces." My face is braving the snow...appropriate for a Central New York woman!

 

I did two pieces for THE THREE MUSES  this week because the first one..."word..." is a bit late to enter on their website. We were asked to pick one of our favorite words and illustrate it. The word I picked was a long word...  SESQUIPEDALIAN. I know many more sesquipedalians than I'd like!!

 

Their request for this week is a piece of art including a silhouette...

 

So pleased that you stopped by for this posting. Please come back soon...and enjoy the rest of your week and weekend!

 

Big Hugs,
