Mind Wide Open November Challenge

I've wanted to participate in these monthly challenges for a while. Each month Gail Schmidt puts a great image on her blog mind-wideopen.blogspot.com with a word or phrase for inspiration. Anyone who wants to can submit their interpretation. Readers then vote on their favorite piece. The winning artist gets a gift certificate to her store Shabby Cottage Studios

It is very cool to see the variety of art submitted each month. Go check it out if you get a chance.

For quite some time I've been intrigued by the Al Stewart song Fields of France. This month's MWO challenge image spoke to me immediately. So combining the 2 ideas, here is my end result. It can be hung on a wall or used as a suncatcher:

"Oh she looks, but there's nothing to see....still she looks, saying come back to me..."

  6. Glad you came to MWO too. I like the way you did the image in the background. Very pretty.

    How large is your piece? It almost looks like a large window frame.

  12. Thanks for your nice comments on my piece and as to your offer to give me some advice....

    "I use my scanner a lot. Or use a lightbox behind the piece. You can fudge a lightbox too - if you want any advice, please let me know. "

    I gladly accept ! I do need to learn about setting up a lightbox.
    Thanks so much =) Nan
