April Art Challenge

 

My Art Challenge group met on Friday evening in person for the first time in a year.  It was so good to see each other in person for a change.  The challenge for April was "Jewels".  I took a photo of a blue glow agave and had it printed on canvas and then I "bedazzled" it with little jewel-like tear-drops.  


My official piece was the canvas above but I also brought along this photo that I had printed on metal.  I thought the photo editing I did gave it a jewel-like look so I included it as an extra.







Here is our little group of "artists" and friends on the patio at Julie & Dave's house.  Julie was taking the photo so she's not in it.  We have our fingers crossed that the pandemic numbers continue their downward trend so we can meet in person once again next month.  The new art challenge for May is "Climate Change".

I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today.  I'm featuring a 'back roads' drive in Missouri.

  2. Actually just the fact of being able to have a party with a group of people without having to wear a mask seems so wonderful!
    Your artwork is like a crown for the celebration. Did you frame it?
    Your second picture printed on metal! Wow! Never saw that before... I have to investigate. Is it the metal's glow which gives your picture this extra light?
