Three Muses - Blackbird

"Blackbird singin' in the dead of night...." This phrase came to mind even before I read Marie's sneak peek last week. I found my cottage as a stock photo, used an overlay from Skeletalmess, and the lady is from a John William Waterhouse painting. Great challenge, Marie, and great example you've given us!

    Bev, I love the misty, dreamy look of your beautiful picture. It screams "tell me the rest of the story"! So intriguing and creative. Great work.
