This week’s Tag Along challenge #27 was "Cats."

Some of the other cats didn't like her exuberant display, but she knew life was too short to waste time worrying about the judgmental opinions of others.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.10.

The images are from a DuckDuckGo search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was "Tropical."

I struggled to come up with something for this. I had a bunch of ideas, but I wasn't able to implement them. I was about to give up when this piece came together. I used G'MIC Filter Pen Drawing and altered the colors to get the subtle vibrant tropical look I had imagined. I created this using GIMP 2.8.10.

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

The Week06 challenge for The Documented Life Project was "Inspired By..." where the challenge was to create an art journal page based on inspiration from an artist/artists.

I love Illuminated Manuscripts and Medieval images, so I decided to use them. I also decided to make another "Add a Flap to your Flap" piece.

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. (See the side of my blog for links.)

The master index for all of my entries is here.
