Autumn - Try it on Tuesday

Try it on Tuesday's Challenge this week is Autumn.  I took a previous piece of digital art I'd done and reworked parts of it to turn it into a tag on a background.  I like the final piece - maybe more than it's original!

I'm really enjoying adding digital ephemera to my recent artwork, and my desk stays clean!!!

Here it is:

Gargoyles - Our Midweek Muse

The Challenge this week at Our Midweek Muse is "Gargoyles."  

I've never paid much attention to gargoyles and even had to check my spelling, but I sure found a lot of them in the research I did.  I kind of liked this guy, so I grunged up his suroundings and ended up happy with the result. 

I'm really enjoying the "Grungy Look" lately!

Thanks for stopping by.  Until next time...

Spells and Magic - Sunday Postcard Art

Sunday Postcard Art's Challenge this week is, "Spells and Magic."  

It's so strange how my original artwork ideas morph into completely different areas of a topic.  For this one, I was thinking more about Magic - a Magician with his Assistant on stage performing a magic trick, or tricks - that kind of scene.  And I ended up with "Wizards, Witches, Black Cats and Bats!"  

I love this piece, it was so much fun to put it together.  I hope you enjoy it, too.

Thanks for stopping by.  Until next time...

Fairytales, Folklore, & Fables - Tell Me A Story - Art Journal Journey

Our Challenge for October at Art Journal Journey is "Fairytales, Folklore, & Fables - Tell Me A Story."

I thought about some books I read when I was young, and also my first two real "reading" books that were given to me for one of my birthdays in grammar school, and decided to use those books as the base of my artwork for the Fairtales, Folklore, & Fables part of the Challenge.  Then I told the story of these books a little bit.  I was six years old in that photo, so I was in the second grade, and already reading pretty well, I'd guess. 

It's a little hard to read the text, if you're interested in what it says, just click on the piece and it will enlarge for you.  😊

What's in Your Sky? - Sunday Postcard Art

Our Challenge this week at Sunday Postcard Art is "What's In Your Sky?"

I found a graphic of an elephant harnessed onto a hot air balloon, and the ideas just flowed from there.

So, here's a dad on a fishing trip with his two little girls, one stayed in the boat to stare at the frog king on the dock, and one wanted to join the Hot Air Balloon Party.

Thanks for stopping by.  Until next time...
