Digital Whisper Challenge -New Year 2017

This week at Digital Whisper the theme is 2017.  I wonder what it holds for us.  I have taken the painter's arms from a Renaissance painting (Wikimedia Commons) and added Googled easel and table.  The plaque, bottles and background are by Lorie Davison at Scrapbookgraphics.
We've had a great, successful year at Take a Word and The Three Muses with some new members joining us and topnotch artwork by EVERYONE.  We really appreciate your participation.
I take this opportunity to wish one and all a happy New Year and a great 2017.

Sunday Postcard Art - WINTER

This week the theme at SPA is WINTER - not in my part of the world where it is summertime.

Digital Whisper Challenge - Snowman

I painted Mr and Mrs Snowman three years ago and have dusted them off to appear in Patti's challenge.  All my own work (painting in ArtRage digital software) except for the background which comes from Createwings Designs.  As I live in a part of the world where snow never falls I had to use my imagination.
This week at Take a Word the theme is ANGEL.  I painted the background and also the dress and shoes.  The face and arms come from an image by Lorie Davison.  I had the wings in my collection and I'm not sure where they came from.
