Creative Tuesday - Starry Night

Hello friends at Creative Tuesday!

I am as fond as anyone of a starry night, but for the life of me today I could not get inspired! So I offer two possibly not so inspired offerings for CT Starry Night theme.

The theme reminded me of the van Gogh tribute 'Vincent' by Don McLean - a song probably worth listening to at least once. 

The first one is a photo of my backyard right after the sun has gone down, with some contrasting filters added as well as some stars. Not the most inspired of representations as I said but, at least the photo is worth looking at!

The second piece is done with pastels. The idea was a moon, some stars and a city scape of some sort. It came out looking sort of angry to me I wonder why?

Hope all are having a great Tuesday!

Lovely pieces Alicia, love the first photo. The 2nd piece reminds me of the Van Gogh...the lines of it.

That's one incredible sunset but I'm going with the more hands on one for the montage as its fun and dynamic. Thank you Alicia! :)

both of these are awesome. Love the second one for how much of a contrast it is to the first one, which is so beautiful in it's own right, but something pure, raw, real to the second-I'm really into that kind of stuff. Awesome work Alicia.
