Here's something a bit unique. I found this sweet little 'weather vane girl' in the front yard of a very 'decorated' little house. I decided to go ahead and snap a quick shot. I had to crop it quite a bit, and change the background by using my Paint Shop and also Photoshop for a little liquefy. I wanted to make this little girlie look as tho she is really in a windy place. I hope it worked, please comment. Thanx so much.

You did an excellent job on this Verena! She does look like she is in a very windy place and the colors are beautifully deep. Bravo my friend!

Must have been very windy... Fantastic work, creative and colorful! She reminds me of Mary Poppins as a little girl, lol...

Nicely done, Verena. I am showing my age when I say it also reminds me of Dorothy in the tornado in the "Wizard of Oz" although she did not have an umbrella as I recall.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
