Music of Spring

This lovely young lady is sitting in the fresh air of a lovely Spring day.  The songs of the birds, the purring of the cats, and the hope of Spring create a beautiful music floating in the air.  This is my entry for the http://jeanette-soartfulchallenges.blogspot.com/ today.  The challenge was to create a piece using the image of the woman sitting on the bench with her umbrella.  I will be using this image for something nice that will be in my shop soon.

And you have seen this piece before.  It is one of my favorites. And just fits right in with the http://createdbyhandchallenge.wordpress.com/ for this week which is "My Heart Dances".  The original of this piece lives in my home.  

Soartful Challenges

In the Soartful Challenge this week, we were given a vintage image of a parlor. It was empty except for a few pieces of furniture and some drapes. The theme was Welcome to My Parlor. Here is my interpretation. Originally I was going to add a lovely couple dancing romantically. Then I found these two and thought they would look quite humorous dancing in the parlor. The quote says The neighbors always talked when Mama and Papa danced in our parlor. The digital print comes in aceo size ( 2.5 x 3.5).

Crowaboutit Challenge

I've missed the Crowaboutit Challenge in the last few weeks. My entry this week is a combination of this week's images and a few from last week mixed in. Usually I enjoy getting kind of silly with my crowaboutit challenge entries. But this one is more serious and I believe to be quite true. Our lives are greatly influenced by how much we dream and how much we pursue those dreams.
