"Pens and Brushes"

© All Rights Reserved
This week’s Thank God It’s Friday challenge number 97 was “Pens and Brushes.” I used two etchings, then painted one of them. Everything is digital.

And you want to know how MY mind works? This is a beautifully executed piece of artwork with an inscrutable quality! I would love to know the story behind it.
Bravo.

Anne, I have made a mistake! I was commenting on the thumbnail pictures on my blogpage and yours was next to Ann's (Taluula). We are always having jokes about how our minds work and the comment about that was meant for Ann. However, the rest of it was meant for you. Sorry about that,

Thanks Anne for your pens and brushes to TGiF.

Me again. Just read your note which means you are up bright and early. If it is 5.19pm here it is 5.19am in your part of the world. Sorry about the mistake. You are Anne and she is Ann and your picture looked like something Ann would do. We are always having fun at each other's expense at who has the weirdest brain!
I love your picture. As Lori says - a beautiful Gothic piece.

Great artwork, Anne !

Taluula said...

Wow Anne this is something special you did a great great job.

My piece was supposed to reflect the infamous British Graffiti artist called (Banksy) who apart from the usually type of graffiti also reproduces actually paintings adding extra bits and pieces in a fun way.

I thought the link might be helpful, but I am embarrased to say I now see I should have just let people realize for themselves. The idea of the link was that if you click on any of the paintings there, the larger version will show you how Banksy has changed a painting.

Which is the tongue in cheek bit, as I changed the painting in my piece.

Ah well :O)

This is very creative, Anne. Those gryphons are somehow eerie to me. I don't think I'd want one on my house! I like that you mixed etching and tinting. It made for a very interesting page design.
