Who has more fun than us (artists)??

I'm having a great time goofing around drawing these little mixed media portraits.  My goal is to create 40.  This is #25.

Take a Seat...

Take a seat and rest awhile - enjoy this beautiful day on the beach.

Oopsie...

This photo was taken at a shutter speed too slow to hand hold the camera.  It turned out pretty cool though - I put it to good use.

Raindrops

Lighthouse in Nova Scotia

Combination of  my "raindrops," the lighthouse photo, Kim Klassen's "Annie" texture topped off with Buz Sims filter

A happy accident, wouldn't you agree?

Ding Dong...

Wouldn't you just love to press one of these doorbells to see who answers?

You are beautiful....

Not all art is found in galleries.  ART can be found in the most unexpected places, if one's eyes are open to the possibility.

Original photo taken in Savannah, GA.


On the other hand, I went gallery hopping with friends last night knowing I'd find some wonderful artwork.  I was not disappointed.  The Art Alliance Naples holds an Arts Alive! event twice a month.  It was great fun meeting new artists, seeing their workspace/galleries.  I came home totally inspired.

Splat!

It has been a while since I used any of the Truly Nolan photos in my collection.  It was fun to play with brushes, gradients and blending modes to create this piece.
