Take a Word Challenge: Vintage




This digital piece was inspired by some vintage photos I've gathered of people motoring around in their newfangled machines. (I'm reminded that my grandparents always called my parents' car "the machine".)

Sunday Postcard Art: Home Sweet Home



Here's my digitally created "sweet" home. I think of my own home as representing warmth, safety, and love; but sometimes I do wish there were lollipops growing in my front yard, and a chocolate candy doorknob...

Art Creations Friday: Combine Photo and Background

We were challenged to combine the photo of the woman with parasol (above) and the textured background (above) into an art piece. She looked to me like she might want to fly, so I'm letting her, in my digital collage.

Friday Foto Collage





original image


This is a new weekly challenge run by the talented Peggy Gatto (http://fridayfotocollage.blogspot.com?). She challenges us to alter a photo based on a theme and vintage photos she provides, or using old photos of our own. This week, I couldn't resist doing a quick humorous collage featuring her image of this not-very-happy-looking couple. And I'd like to wish happily married Peggy a wonderful 48th wedding anniversary this Sunday!
