Across at Flickr the Works of Art ATC challenge this week is inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night.
This is my interpretation.
I tried my hand at a bit of digital daubing which I then swirled with the smudge tool, altered and added the castle from my own photos, and finished with a grain filter.
Van Gogh made it look so easy ..... but it wasn't!
Thanks for looking.

Make A Moo Or Two - Quote
This week the theme for the challenge is to use a Quote and I've chosen a quote about time.
The Charlie Chaplin image and background were duplicated and blended with a colour burn to give them brightness and depth. I inserted a clock image between the two other images and blended it with a pin light at 50 percent to keep time in the background. All images are courtesy of Kubivet.
Fonts used : OldiesButGoodies and Apple Gothic and added a drop shadow to both to create definition.
Thank you for looking.

Kimmie is hosting the Stock Photo challenge across at Digital Art Quirks this week and she chose a photo of a tree for us to work with.

Stock Photo 70 - Digital Art Quirks
Kimmie hosted the DAQ stock photo this week and she chose a picture of railings. As soon as I saw it I knew it had to be transformed into a hat or crown. Mabel agreed and thought George would be an excellent model. So here we are.
Credit goes to BoyMK for the stockphoto from Stockxchnge, the backgrounds (altered) and George (also altered) are free courtesy of Valerie Brincheck.
Font is Palsu.
Thank you for looking.
