April breeze

I recently came across a challenge blog named "Challenge Up Your Life." The current topic is April weather. Here in Munich, we have definitely had April weather so far -- sunshine, rain, wind, and even the first thunderstorm of the season. For my digital ATC I used the oil painting "Boreas" created in the Pre-Raphaelite style by John William Waterhouse in 1903 as well as two of my photos taken this month -- a dramatic sunset (see photo below) and a daffodil from the garden (daffodils can be found in the original painting, too).


The dramatic sunset of April 10th.


In fact, I used an altered version of the sunset photo for this ATC, too:

  5. Absolutely stunning! AND when I view this, my first thought is:
    "Now there's my Birgit! This is her signature art that I love so much!"
    AND this creates a stir in me to reach higher in my digital art creations. YOU inspire me, my friend...truely inspire me!
    Love and hugs,
    Joan
