Take a Word - Warm Colours

I borrowed Mae West's face and an old photo of four bathing beauties in black and white.  I coloured them and added some blingy overpainting.  Background, frame and flowers by Lauren Bavin.

    I love this and I remember Mae West ... OMG, am I that old :(

    I would love to know how you do"blingy overpainting". That is something I haven't run across before ...

    Brilliant warm colours, I love these quadruplets in their matching swimsuits and hats, standing in their frame looking cool. I like the black and white frame too, it sets it all off beautifully.
