Inspiration Avenue: Beach Treasures

A theme very dear to my heart! I created this digital piece using photos we took of the ocean at the Outer Banks of North Carolina (where they're now recovering from the hurricane); and some shells we've collected from there. Border is from Hero Arts.

    Beautiful image! I love the muted tones. I wish I could make digital art. I like the name and tagline of your blog.

    I would love to be walking on a beach somewhere collecting shells! Beautiful collage.

    This is really gorgeous! I love the grading of the colours, from smoky blues to rich browns. I can almost smell the sea salt!

    So very nice. What a great way to honor a favorite memory...the sepia tones are very pleasing.
