ALPHABET SOUP

While looking for a dictionary page with "maiden" on it, I came across the word "magniloquence".  It's new to me.  Isn't it a wonderful word?   Art just opens our eyes in so many ways.  I hope you've enjoyed your art journey this week!  Credits are on my blog http://indybev.blogspot.com

The Three Muses Challenge - LOVE

This week at the Muses the theme is LOVE which could mean a belated Valentine, or something you love doing or love seeing.  The choices are endless.  The lady in the picture loves her art and, as the quote says, art is the only way to run away without leaving home.  Have fun.  For credits click HERE

The Three Muses Challenge - Go Fish

This week Ann has supplied the sample picture even though she is now touring New Zealand and will be away from her home in England for seven weeks.  The picture is not linked to her blog page but I know that this beautiful digital painting is a Taluula original.  She has used her own photo of a townscape and treated it to some digital magic. 

Our theme is "Go Fish" and anything fishy goes!!  Have fun.

GYPSIES

Gypsies, sometimes called Travelers or Romany, are a fascinating and colorful people.  Hopefully everyone will have enjoyed bringing them to life in their art this week.  For a bit of a story about them, see http://indybev.blogspot.com

RAINBOWS

Rainbows are such magic things.....variegated highways in the skies.  It occurred to me Santa and his reindeer might like to ride the rainbow highway on their way to take toys to children everywhere.   That's my fantasy, and I'm stickin' to it!   I hope you had fun too!

QUIRKY ME

This week, my challenge to you is to own up to something quirky that you do and then to 'spill the beans' in the form of a journal page.   I know you all have a quirky side and so all you need to do is come clean about at least one of your quirks.

But just in case you are a little shy to get started let me be the first to publish my journal for your inspiration.

Have fun!
