I have this exhibit in mind as next month I'm putting a piece in the current members' exhibit. And Monday I'm taking two pieces to a juried exhibit that I got into last year. So, art shows are on my mind.

We didn't do much in 2022 so putting a piece in the members' exhibit of a local arts group may have been my highlight of the year. This is one of my mixed media collage pieces called "Surrounding".

Thanks so much for the Neil deGrasse Tyson quote. It really seems to express what I wanted with the trees and all.

I used trees as symbols of the natural world, the plants, animals, weather, and all. Also for family trees and the connections to family now and past and to others finding their way through the trees.

The inspiration photo is stunning with nice rich colors. I went with flowers, bud/berry shapes and those colors.

Colors, flowers, and bud or berry shapes were in a web inspiration challenge. I added a photo of my DH at the most recent place H&S played.

Woo-hoo! Thanks for the prize and congrats to the other winners.

As always, enjoy your ATC challenge!

Free Bird is a song that never lost it's appeal for many people. The lyrics don't necessarily all carry my feelings but the free bird does.

I love macro photography. Back when I needed separate lenses, I often used a macro lens. Now my little camera makes it easy with a macro setting.

My DH saves things like this branch for me to see, admire and photograph. The lichens always amaze me.

Happy to finally get this photo scrapped!

DH's birthday was earlier in June and you can see he liked going to a steak house for his birthday dinner.

Fun with the challenge and I get extra points for no flowers too. :giggle4:

I take photos at the H&S sing-alongs and scrap pages for the group but I can post ones just of my DH. Especially happy to do so today as it is his birthday. Challenge # 7 - Recipe Challenge — https://oscraps.com/community/threads/challenge-7-recipe-challenge.42196/ 1 - Photo 1 - Mask 1 -...

Thanks so much for the word art and the challenge.

My BiL came through in a big way for my birthday back in 2013 with this armful of beautiful iris.

Thanks for the template!

I needed a photo from this DC trip in 2009 for the day 1 challenge and thought these would be nice for the lovely day 2 template.
