Work in Progress

This week's  Three Muses Challenge topic is "Quips and Quotes."  I happened to be working on the collage/painting below and thought it fit well with the theme.  This piece is still a work in progress, but so far I am really liking it.  I kind of let go while doing the background.  I just kept playing until I got to a point that I liked.  It was a lot of fun.  The little girl in this piece is my niece Sophie- I adore her, she brings so much joy to my life.  She is quite the fashionista and I did this piece to celebrate her silly, stylin' self. :)

  1. How beautiful! I love the way you have composed your picture with all the different moods (and changes of dress) of your little niece, layered into a soft and misty background. What a treasure it will be for her to keep. Wonderful artwork. Thanks so much for joining in the challenge this week.

  15. Have to say that I made the best art there- Sophie herself. I love what you did with her photos. You know we are stealing that when you are done right?
