Thanks to Ann for resurrecting the Gothic Arch!! I have used an image from Wikimedia Commons (greatly altered), a word overlay by Createwings Designs and my own chequerboard background.
What a gorgeous interpretation of Ann's challenge, Marie. You are so adept at altering images, and the background is perfection, both within the arch and behind it!
I do love your background, Marie, your image is a porcelain beauty and what a coiffure you have 'painted' on her! 39C expected in your part of the world today - I'm sure you can spare about 10C to send to your neighbour!!
I absolutely love your colour palette, Marie, so vivid, rich and satisfying I have been looking at it for an age. The background is delicious and everything is brought together beautifully with that superb quote I have never come across before.
I could eat those backgrounds!!! YUMMY... sorry I get carried away sometimes, but they are magnificent. Your lady is great too and the quote is ever so true Really love this piece
Love the arch shaped hairdo and the fabulous checkered background...great job Marie!
ReplyDeleteLove it! What a sentiment too, so very true. The coloring is perfect with the olive and red.
