"Love is in the Air" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Moo Mania challenge was "Love is in the Air."

I went a little outside my standard art style comfort zone on this one, but I felt that the whimsical woman needed an equivalent style surrounding her.

Per a good suggestion from a fellow blogger, I've decided to enter this at this week's Try It On Tuesday challenge of "Romance."

And if you like classical music, you might enjoy this piece by a fantastic but lesser known composer: Vasily Kalinnikov - Symphony No. 1. Sadly he didn't live long (~1866 to ~1901) or else we may have had more great symphonies composed by him. (This one is nice also: Vasily Kalinnikov - Symphony No. 2)

I created this using GIMP 2.10.8.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

    I think this whimsical piece is great - such a sense of swirling movement. You've done the woman proud!

    I love her hat. She is a real stunner, Anne. This is actually amazing.

    Maybe you can give me lessons on Gimp, because I can't even find the crop tool! Sorry I'm so late visiting. Seems to be the story of my life lately.
