Memories

I have been so busy this week with work being done in the house that I didn't take the time to post anything since Monday.  Today I noticed the challenge from Art Creations Friday.

The image of the young school girl provided  for this weeks challenge reminded me of my mother.  I had to do something with it and this was what I came up with.  The other photo is a picture of my mother when she was about 20.  This is all digital,  done in PSP with layers, masks and misting the images to blend more into the background.  I enjoyed working with this wonderful image of the young girl.  Thanks to Art Creations Friday for the challenge.

Tacey, your beautiful piece has such a dreamy look, as if one is looking backward into the past. I love how you have used the given image.

Thanks for your kind words on my piece with the oil painting background. It has been some while since I made oil paintings. Maybe I should try to get back into that form of art. It was fun.

No wonder the photo reminded you of your mother. They could be sisters - or perhaps your mother at two different stages of her life. Your picture is so beautiful. Applause!
