Mail Call Digital Art

This week's Digital Art challenge over at the Digital Whisper blog has the theme, Mailbox. As soon as I read that I knew what photo I would use as my inspiration for this digital art project. It's a photo of my mom when she was a young girl, checking the mail. So this is what I created for that challenge.

Mom's favorite flowers were daisies, so I had to add some of those to the piece too. An old postcard serves as the background, along with some little splashes of color here and there.

Laundry Day Digital Art

This week's challenge over at the Digital Whisper blog features the theme, "Clothespins." I knew I'd be using an old family photo to create my digital art piece for this challenge, and this is what I came up with.

This features a vintage photo of my mother when she was about two years old, helping my grandmother (whom I called, Nana) hang laundry on the clothesline. If you look closely you can see that my mother has a clothespin in her mouth. I've loved this photo for awhile and want to put it in my laundry at some point. It makes me smile whenever I see it. 

I miss both of them. So much.

Man in the Mirror

I came across a blog I hadn't seen before that does digital art challenges each week. The blog is called Digital Whisper. This week's challenge theme is "Sheet Music," so I thought I'd jump in and participate. And my favorite musical muse is almost always Michael Jackson, so he inspired this digital art work. And the sheet music I used is from MJ's Man in the Mirror.

I don't seem to do as much digital art as I once did. So I love when I get inspired by a great theme or challenge to make some more. :)  You can see more great digital art from this challenge by clicking on the the blog link above.
