Digitalmania Sepia Challenge

Dearest Archduchess, just where are you taking that Emu?

Little girl, be very careful around that henge!  Alternate universes are everywhere!

You might as well just find a wardrobe....

Green Promenade - TAW challenge

They do say that opposites attract, but sometimes such things go a little too far extreme!

French Quarter Black bird- TAW challenge

One of the things I love about the natural world is the wide variety 

of animal life at different locales around the world.

Here is a fabulous example of a black bird from the region of southern Louisiana

pictured in front of her natural habitat in the French Quarter.

Laissez bon temps roulez, little birdie!

Questions Three - Digitalmania challenge

Our inspiration this week at digitalmania was more medieval fairy tale than Egyptian, but I have had Ancient Egypt in my head all week.

I am afraid that my pieces might not qualify to be included in this weeks challenge, but I couldn't seem to stop myself from googling pictures of the 1917 Theda Bara version of Cleopatra.

The costumes and the glamor!  I love old Hollywood and then combine that with Ancient Egypt. ...

I couldn't resist!

Also. I do realize that my sphinx is actually the Greek myth version, but she seemed to fit in the background so perfectly.

Faced - Digitalmania challenge

I meant to post these earlier than today as Florian Nicholle's was last weeks inspiration over at Digitalmania.

Clearly, I had a lot of fun with paint brushes!

Sonnet Glammed! - Digitalmania challenge

The inspiration this week at Digitalmania was the art of Florian Nicholls.

Artwork focusing on the human face or figure is not something that I usually gravitate to, but I love to try something new or different.

I had several false starts, but finally ended up with a few pieces that I like.

I started with a portrait of a young boy by Perugino (my favorite medieval portraitist) and glammed him up.

I added some watercolor brush splatter courtesy of photoshop brushes and finally included some Shakespearean verse.

Voila!  My first digitalmania piece of the week!

New Graphic Design for Quoted Art

Now that I finally finished updating 

my Quoted Art etsy shop, 

I have taken a little time and created 

some new quoted art pieces.

I felt that Walt Whitman truly 

deserved a little attention!

Look for these to be added to my 

Quoted Art etsy shop tomorrow!

As always, available as prints
or as jewelry pieces and magnets!
