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!

PPF - Waiting for Spring

Como Esperando Abril - epoxy resin, etc
Hi all at PPF!

Wanted to share a piece about springtime, now that it is actually leaving here. Am happy to have appeared in PPF's interview! It was fun & sthg I'd been wanting to do for a time. I notice the piece appears in the interview so I thought I'd discuss it more.

Autumn Photo - JH
This was one of many made with epoxy resin product, and one of my fave in that series - there were like 12 or 13 -  is it recently sold :D / :( good to sold, bad not to have it again!! It was made with almost a monoprint process with tempera paint on sheetrock or some nonsense, then bathed over with EnviroTek epoxy resin.  What is mysterious about this, is that less than a year after I made it, Jim took a photo which was weirdly the same = a mirror image of the above. When I first saw the photo I almost fell over backwards!!!


Speaking of photos,, I would love for folks to look at some photo contests I have here:Ducks - http://www2.thriftyfun.com/tf71771001.tip.html
