Elephant Mural Painting - Photograph

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

I took this photograph on Palm Sunday (April 5, 2020) in Bethel, CT. Almost no one was out, due to coronavirus covid-19 social distancing Lock Down rules.

I've wanted to photograph this mural for awhile, but unfortunately, it was marred by the presence of that pink sign on the ground, which I wasn't going to move, because I didn't want to touch it.

If you're wondering what that pink sign said, it was, "clean up your dog poop." Considering some dog owners didn't clean up after their dogs prior to covid-19, no one should be surprised that some people are ignoring the social distancing rules during covid-19. There is a percentage of people in our society who are all about "Me, Myself, and I" who don't care about anyone else, and they manifest themselves in our daily lives.

Add a Flap to your Flap - Week 08 - The Documented Life Project

 © All Rights Reserved
© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)
The Week08 challenge for The Documented Life Project was "Add a Flap to your Flap" where the challenge was to add (tape) another art piece to your weekly planner art journal page.

I started with a medieval border. Then I added etchings for the design within the border, and colored them. For the flap, I decided to make a thin border using the blue and black edge colors from the medieval border, then added an image within that.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.10, printed it on card stock paper, cut it out, then taped it into my weekly planner.

The images are from the Getty Research Institute.

The master index for all of my entries is here.

"Party Invitation" - Postcard


© All Rights Reserved
This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was "Stars." I'm not sure if I'll post this to the challenge because the stars ended up in the background, and aren't the main focus of what turned into a party invitation, but that's where my muse took me.

The images are from an Internet search.

The fonts are Hadley and HamburgerHeaven.
