May 30 Spring Flowers

Looks like I completely forgot about May 29th's entry. I thought about backdating, but decided against it... so here's a quick snapshot of my tulips' postcard. I think it makes a great entry for the "April Showers Brings May Flowers Art Challenge", don't you?

We're about an hour's drive (more or less) from the Orange City Tulip Festival in Iowa. Since living in South Dakota, I've been to this festival three times. And each time I attend I discover tulips I've never seen before. This particular photo is by far my favorite.

I, of course, did do a little digital manipulation with this one. In Paintshop Pro I added a purple film effect to give the photo a soft glow, then I added a very small grunge effect to dirty the photo up a bit.

I'll be adding the postcard to the flowers section of my Zazzle shop later this week, if it interests you.

May 28 Live Love Laugh Vase

For today's "April Showers Brings May Flowers Art Challenge" entry, I thought I'd show off a little vase I created using an old Starbuck's bottle, modeling paste, and acrylic paints.

And here are the various sides of the art jar.

If it interests you, it's currently for sale on my main site.

May 27 Tinted Sunflower Collage Sheets

I was busy today enjoying Memorial Day with my daughter and her friends, but I still wanted to submit an entry for the "April Showers Brings May Flowers Art Challenge"... so here's a sunflower collage sheet I created awhile back for my digital goods store.

These are 4x4 squares, but I also have them bundled with a sheet of 2x1 Domino Tiles, 2x2 squares, and 3x3 squares so you can create all kinds of cool crafts with them.
