"Olympiad Runners" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved

(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Sports".

This art piece came to life almost on its own. I started with the ancient olympiad runners, then saw "motion" when I added a circles / waves image behind them. I colored the waves blue, then added more motion and circles with the stars. The background had circles and diamonds in it, too.

I created this using GIMP 2.10.38

I used the wooden lid from a jar candle to create a decoupage circle art piece that I'm going to add to my Halloween decorations.

The steps are similar to the ones here.

Seasons change but we're running in circles
Run away, but we're running in circles
And I still hear the echoes (The echoes)
I got a feeling that it's time to let it go, let it go

I searched for examples of this type of art, but I ended up going where my muse took me. I hope this is what the style is like.

Round Flower Garden - Photograph

I took that photograph in my yard this past week.

During the 2020 covid-19 pandemic Lockdown here in Connecticut, US, I added a new flower bed to my yard. Some of the flowers in it were annuals, and some were perennials.

Last year (2021), I had a problem with my left hand, and was unable to do any weeding, etc. As a result, all of my flower garden efforts in 2020 were for naught, because weeds overtook all of the gardens again.

So now, in 2022, I am once again trying to reclaim the flower beds. I started with the round (circle) garden. The three Sage (Lavender?) plants are new, and filled in spaces where annual plants had been. I also planted some seeds that I harvested, which I hope sprout.

The Super Bowl is this coming Sunday, February 13, 2022, here in the United States (US). Unlike Christmas 2021, Fauci isn't advising people to turn away the unvaccinated from their house door step, nor is he advising against private gatherings of more than 30 people, so all of the Super Bowl Parties are good to go! And this week, several Democrat Governors in the US started announcing end dates for mask mandates. It won't be long now, before President Biden announces covid-19 has been conquered. Perhaps he will do that on March 1, 2022, when he gives his State of the Union address to Congress, and he can say, "Mission Accomplished".

Although these are fish, they sort of looked like seahorses to me. I also thought there was something magical looking about them.
