Three Muses - Rain

This is pure wishful thinking.  We are in the midst of a drought at the moment, and a rainy day would be a most welcome sight.   I'd surely take a walk in the rain....and I just might get wet on purpose!!!    The rainwalker is my own sketch, scanned, tweaked and added to the background.  Thanks for looking.  SEND RAIN!

Take a Word - Music

I wonder how many teenagers today would even know what is the source of music in this scene!   Things have certainly changed.

Sunday Postcard - Sepia

I had a bit of fun and added some spice to the sepia in this week's postcard.    Elements have been in my stash for a long time.  I believe the pin-up is from a vintage magazine cover.  The postcard is a freebie from a generous artist in the Netherlands named Mars.

Three Muses - Frames

I don't know about you, but I always have trouble with frames.  Is it too large, is it too small, should I mat, should I not mat, should it be ornate or should it not, etc.   Decisions, decisions!!   Most everything here has been googled, except for the charming lady, who was a freebie from somewhere.   Thanks for stopping by!

Take a Word - Insect

I had the most dreadful time with this challenge.  Several efforts went to the trash bin.  Then I came across this grasshopper, and therein lies the tale.  Yes, I know it's strange, but sometimes there's no arguing with the muse!

Sunday Postcard - Nature

My mother was happiest in her garden, and the words of the verse above always make me think of her.   She would go to the garden in the very early morning hours and spend time weeding and  picking flowers for the little bouquet she always kept on the kitchen table in the summertime.   Mother Nature was kind to her.  Everything she put in the ground seemed to grow and flourish.   Her garden was her special talent.  Credit:  C. Bauman for the graphics, and to Dover for the butterfly.    Thanks for stopping by!

Three Muses - Food and Drink

I've lost my notes with regard to credits for this piece.  Mea culpa.   Thanks to Marie for a fun challenge this week!
