Sunday Postcard Art: "Pink"


The sketch of the young lady is my original art. The background is a digital collage I did for the recent "Summer of Color" challenge using pink. It includes a scan of a hand-textured journal cover I once made, and bird images from graphicsfairy.

Three Muses Challenge: Words


This week's challenge was to use words in any way we wished. Here's a quote I really like. Coincidentally, it concerns COLOR, something else I really like :). Credit for crayon image: Wikimedia Commons.

Inspiration Avenue: Patterns

please click on photo for larger view
This piece may look like it "means" something heavy, but really I was just playing with patterns and shapes. The horizontal curved stripes are from a photo I took of the inside of the Guggenheim Museum in NYC. The diamond grid pattern is from a photo I took of an iron cafe chair in San Antonio. Part of the grid is filled with a pattern from a Hero Arts stone carving image. The outline of the "martial arts" fighting woman is from Broderbund Clip Art, and her lined crumpled notebook paper texture is from grungetextures. I like the contrast between her strong stance and the more fragile paper.

Collage Obsession: Sloth

Rick is continuing with his seven deadly sins theme. This week is "sloth." As you can see, I've created quite a lazy group here.
