Gothic Arches - Gypsies


Subject of the challenge at Gothic Arches this week is Gypsies. I tinted this black and white photo from Flickr CRF images. The background and arch are from Irene Alexeeva, as is the music. Thanks for looking!

  7. Oh Bev, she is lovely, so wistful and mysterious. The colors are simply luscious and the baroque embellishments: perfectamundo! I would give anything to know how to do handtinting, or, even better, to have YOU teach me.

    Thank you for asking about my classes. Apparently I made myself heard. Not only did my schedule not change, but they added eight new and students to my two writing classes and gave me a paraprofessional to help out!!!!
