Weekly Photo Challenge DREAMY for the week of 10 October 2014
DIGITAL ART
iPAD PORTRAITS
I recently got an app for my iPad mini for drawing/painting. Of course, I had to get a stylus, as well. It was pretty clumsy going at first, as you can see by the first couple of samples. Even writing with it was tricky. But it became kind of addicting, once I got started. I kept adding layers to the faces on the bottom row (works in progress), trying to blend skin tones with the softer paint brush. I’m hardly a portraitist, but using this app is really helping me improve. Right now I’m just having fun with it. I guess I should mention the app is ArtStudio by Lucky Clan and it’s free!

CELEBRATE Card
The design of this card started with an old letter and a photo I took of dried stems in my winter garden. Atop these collaged images, I digitally added green and blue circles to the composition to give it more color and movement. Suitable for birthday or any time there’s a reason to CELEBRATE!

Correctly Dressed Ladies
Wow! where does the time go? I’ll use Hurricane Sandy and a week without power as part of my excuse for being away for so long, but other than that… what can I say? We were so fortunate to just be inconvenienced for seven days with no electric and heat. I’m now working on Christmas cards and decorations, and some gift items, so look for coming attractions in the SHOP soon. It’s busy time!
