What a fun challenge....This week on the Arty Girlz Challenge Blog you take inspiration from something in your Home and create something new....I just finished watercoloring my 2 special Mona Lisas....
I created these inspired by the wonderful hand stitched art my Grandmother gave me at my Bridal Shower over 9 years ago...It hangs in our home and inspires me daily....
Here is my take on the theme...you know I had to add some cupcakes to the mix...lol
One of the original mini paintings is available framed in my etsy shop. This would be great on a desk...
I also added a digital version I created last week...
Hope you enjoy them and the inspiration photo....
Have a wonderful day and pop by often!Hugs
Diana

Hi Diana!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely keep-sake. I can see why it's inspired you. Your versions are so pretty!
