For Artwords This Week - Window


For this week's theme of Window at Artwords I combined a couple of my own photographs to create a sort of "alternate reality" - an impression of looking out a window onto a lake...the photos are actually of a lake in New Mexico and a patio garden, located in Bisbee, Arizona. I like the idea of creating a dreamlike state when I combine photos...it's challenging, but also a lot of fun. I suppose I could have made it all black and white, or all sepia-toned, but by having the two different types combined, I think it actually gives more depth & contrast to the end result....

Invention - Illustration Friday

My IF submission this week...a photo I took at a carnival (used PaintShopPro to turn it a nice sepia tone) combined with a couple of vintage photos ... I like how the woman looks rather bored with the "newfangled" things, and appears to simply desire to read her book....

Untitled

The little girl in this photo looks exactly like my daughter, Elisabeth, did at that age. Such a beauty!

Another Raven & Another Journal Page ...



I'm off to bed now, good night!

The Birds (Da Boidz)

Here is my submission for Artwords this week, under the topic, "Birds." This is my first time submitting, in fact =) I've been wanting to do a piece with ravens for a while, and I wanted it to be a bit "dark." This is a digital collage where I combined a couple of my own photos with an image of a raven - the photo of a rose that I took last year, I decided to make "negative" thus, (hopefully) giving the collage more of a dark, edgy look. Hope you like it!

Illustration Friday - Thanksgiving


I know that I often get so overwhelmed with life's big issues that I have to remind myself it's the little things - the things I take for granted - I'm most grateful for in life...

Waiting for Sweet Sir Galahad

This image is for my friend and fellow blogger, the Pondering Pig ... when I did this collage it sort of took on a life of it's own and reminded me of what a "vintage" Mimi might have looked like waiting by her bedroom window for her new love. I guess this means I'm a silly romantic - ah well, so be it =)

VNS

Yep, folks, it's a vintage nude sunbather - modestly covered by some brown texturey stuff I concocted in PaintShopPro (what can I say, I'm a modest person at heart LOL).

Molly Went to Europe

Bird Cage Theatre Collage

Tombstone Cowgirl

These are a couple of images layered together. One, a photo I took of the cemetary in Tombstone, AZ; then, a photo I took of a cave (just for some added texture); and finally, an old image of a cowgirl I got from the Art-E-Zine site.

Anyway, speaking of "cowgirls" please check out Debbie Trotter's site "Cowboy's Sweetheart" (her link is in the right-hand margin). She does truly AMAZING artwork. I know you'll love it =) ~ Peggi
