ARTastic FEB CHALLENGE ~ DANCING CAN REVEAL ALL THE MYSTERY THAT MUSIC CONCEALS

Good Morning ~ 
Where did the first month of the year fly by  to ?
So a new month brings a new challenge  over at ARTastic and it's a beauty

by Josh Miels You can read about Josh over at the ARTastic blog 


I was influenced by the big flowers ( thank you Lizzy ) and the swirls in the ladies face. I have used texture paste to create swirls and added glitz and glitter. I also felt the painting is quite dramatic, which I tried to reflect in the layout. I was influenced by the colours which I felt were dramatic as well.

This is my Beautiful Grand Daughter . When she was doing this dance I kept saying " She looks so grown Up"  A few years on I have come to terms with this now and can scrap the photo. 


The beautiful flair is from StudioFourteen40  as is the Silver glitz Washi . I added a bit of Gesso to Lizzy's gorgeous flowers that she sent me awhile ago. I also added some textured tissue paper down the side of the photo and added water paints to lighten the dark photo.

Thank you for calling by and I hope you join us in this awesome challenge. We would love to see what inspires you in the beautiful painting. Please pop over to the blog and leave the DT members some love, they have rocked the challenge. 

Love, Peace and Happiness
