This week’s Moo Mania challenge was "Use Your Scraps."

I started with a search for "blue bird" in my stash of vintage images. I found some images that I had already "cut out" (converted into PNG files) but not yet used, and others that had not been cut out yet. I created a collage of these "scraps" that I don't think I've used prior to this.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.16.

This piece is also my entry for the following:

This week’s Three Muses challenge was "Flying."

I started with the idea of wanting to use a Hot Air Balloon. Then I decided to add a couple who were kissing, which led to a Paris based theme, for the City of Love. Paris is also the City of Light (La Ville Lumière), and the location of the historic Paris Catacombs, etc.

I will refrain from stating what I think of the cowards who recently attacked civilians in Paris.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.16 (the latest version, to which I just upgraded).

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

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

November 02 is All Souls' Day, also known as Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). I'm still in the mode of Allhallowtide, so when I thought of Paris this time, I thought of the catacombs. The words in the background are from one of the inscriptions in the catacombs.
