So Artful Challenge - Cherry Blossoms

Thanks to June and Jeanette of Soartful Challenges for the lovely sprig of cherries. I used a background freebie from Pepeetje, a bit of filtering, and part of a Waterhouse painting. It's nice to think of Spring and cherry blossoms (sigh), as I'm waiting for the predicted freezing rain which is to turn to the 6 inches of snow we're promised......

    I'm so glad the cherries made you forget your freezing weather for a bit.
    This is a fabulous piece. Everything is just beautiful. I browsed your blog ...so much beauty to feast on.

    Thanks for being Soartful this week.

    Bev, you are on an artistic surge at the moment. Not that everything you do isn't beautiful but over the past week you have been excelling yourself. Not having a computer for a few days must have boosted your Muse!! This picture is absolutely scrumptious in every way. I love it - a lot.

    Keep the faith, Bev. Spring, and those beautiful cherry blossoms, are just around the corner.

    (Thanks for your white light and good wishes - over the pneumonia and getting better every day.)

    Wow, Bev, I don't know how I missed this. So glad I decided to check back and see what I might have missed. This is fantastic and you've used Mr. Waterhouse's favorite model to make such a beautiful piece.
