Thanks! I want to go back there!! :)

Thanks! I duplicated the ladies three times to make them darker and more detailed and lowered the opacity on my flowers and they blended perfectly. :)

Thanks so much. I loved how the colors worked so well together. :)

I love the big cats and he came right out (Houston Zoo) and sat behind a bush at Christmastime, perfect for a portrait. They're usually hiding or sleeping. :)

Thanks so much. I love blues. So even though they say people can be in a blue mood like depressed, blue always signifies happiness to me. :)

Thanks!! I love the colors and all the elements in that series. I was thinking of showcasing blue flowers but I don't have any. lol So then I thought of the blue birds that I do have!

Thanks! I love the blues and of course the little blue birds were perfect for it! :)

She LOVES to have tea time! :) The laces were perfect.

Tea Time for 2!

It's always time for tea! My granddaughter all dressed up for a tea party.

My favorite place to visit!

I used the daylilies in my garden to add to the ladies in their garden and of course the hummingbirds are exactly what are needed for a Spring-themed, fun challenge.

I haven't ever done anything like this so it was fun. I added a feather, butterfly wings, flowers and fairy lights to "headdress." And I used several different layer textures to really change the portrait up.

I love blue birds--these are frequent feeders in my garden--bluebirds and blue jays. The bluebirds love to bathe in my fountain. And I love blue.

Laughter can aid the digestion too! They even had jesters in royal courts during feasts.

These mood boards are a lot of fun. The picture of the pelicans I took in South Padre Island.

I'm usually more into realistic so this was fun going for bright and more painted.

I loved all the Arabian Nights' tales. I was going to wait on doing the challenges because I've got a book deadline, but when I saw one that had to do with storybook fantasies? No way could I wait. lol
