A challenge..

On Digitalmania this week our challenge was to take a part of a painting by Karl Joseph Stieler and alter it some way to make a new picture. He painted such beautiful ladies it was a pleasure to work with them and I did four. Here is one of them. I applied a patterned texture to her face.

I've had a wonderful Sunday. My son and DIL, my daughter and SIL, even Freddie and I went out to lunch to celebrate Sally's birthday. Freddie really enjoyed his outing and they were all so pleased to see him out! It was wonderful just to have my 'children' all together.
I used to entertain with lunches and dinner parties galore but unfortunately those days have gone. So the next best thing for me is to take them out for a lovely meal.
We all laughed and joked and told stories and it was great fun. After getting Freddie ready and getting him in and out of the car with his 'pusher' I am quite pooped. Never mind, I can rest now.

I hope you've all had a fantastic Sunday too!
Love and Hugs

Friday Foto Collage..

This is one of the photos supplied by Peggy for her challenge.

And this is what I did with it. However nice a design or pattern I'm not enamoured of 'in your face' splashes of colour. I hope you can still see the image underneath Peggy. I assure you, it's there blended in! So this is my entry for this week's Friday Foto Challenge.
Thanks for looking. Hugs xxxxxxxx

The Royal Birds..

Just a piece of whimsy today. The main image was an old Rennaissance painting. It was much faded so I recoloured it in Photoshop and brightened it up a bit and I thought it brought it back to life. Added some bits and bobs from my stash and there you are. The tiny crowns on the blackbird's heads were a bit fiddly but don't they just look Royal?

Sally had a wonderful day in Norwich shopping and lunching out and also inspected some beautiful kennels on the way. They were most impressed. They plan to leave the whippets there when they go away for a few days. Granddaughter Rebecca moves in to look after the tinies!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Birthday Girl..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SALLY!!
It's my baby's birthday today. The sun shone on the day she was born
and I think almost every year since it's always a sunny day on her birthday.
Sending you love, hugs and kisses my darling. xxx
