ART = ME


Over at my Digital Photography group we are to do a self portrait. There are some imaginative minds at work over there, trying to show who we are through a picture. :) I used an effect called "cartoon" on mine.

Then for Inspiration Avenue, Art With Heart:

The best and most beautiful things in this
world cannot be seen or even heard, but must
be felt with the heart....
Helen Keller.
I took the above picture and created some digital over lays for it. I actually like this one better than the first one!

  1. What a super first entry, Sandee. I think it speaks volumes to art from the heart. I wish I knew more about digital art. I just haven't taken the time to learn it, which probably speaks to my laziness or inability to stop using paper and scissors (grin).

    Have a great weekend in the hills of North Carolina!

  4. Both are wonderful, but I think I like the more muted look of the second one.

  6. Sandee, this is really FUN!! Love it! It's the right sort of art too - hands on, really messy! Great stuff.

    Thanks for your comment on my blog about our day out at the show. It was great! Prince Albert sounds a great horse, and you must have had a lot of fun with him. I love watching the horses!

  10. The second is my favorite!
    The soft glow and colors make a nice
    magical shot.
    I agree, I too identify with paint on the hands!! Love it.
    Good art requires getting messy!
    (I am messy, so I like to think that)
    LOL

  11. I love the quote by Helen Keller. Your digital art is very colorful and vivid-full of positive energy. I hope you'll participate in next week's IA challenge. It's my first time hosting.
