This is a rather simplistic treatment of the challenge. The cityscape was sent to me by an Oz friend (thanks, Marie) long ago, and it's been retinted. The strains of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" have been running through my head ever since I read the challenge. Alberta at Amusing Muses has a delightful rendition playing on her blog. Give it a listen. Thanks for a pleasant challenge!
Sometimes simple is good and understated is great and that's what this is. I love this piece Bev.
ReplyDeleteSimple is perfect in this challenge. The rainbow speaks for itself. Why dress it up? I love your recolouring and use of the old townscape.
ReplyDeleteThe version of "Over the Rainbow" you mention is often played on the radio here in Oz. The singer is a native of Hawaii who sadly died young.
Wow this is a stunner and what you have done with that skyline is perfect Bev. Beautuful work and this certainly doesnt look simple it looks magnificent. well done
ReplyDeletethanks for joining in my friend

Love the skyline and your rainbow! Wonderful piece, Bev.
ReplyDeleteLess is more ... the buildings look as though they have been created using wax and an iron.

Simple but absolutely lovely. Really draws the eye in. I love the version of the song too Bev - thinking of putting it on my blog!
