The Green Challenge- revisited

If you'd like to see what I did with my Green piece, I've posted pictures of the really finished piece on my blog.  Although it's a pain to do with my poor arthritic hands, I think the results are worth it and will definitely do more like this.  

And, I learned how much fun you can have with acrylic paints and a little roller!

Architectural inspirations

We have ben sharing photo inspirations offline as a group.  Has anyone considered edifices like the Sphinx, the Pyramids, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse at Alexandria, then of course there are the many seaside fortresses that were built against seafaring invaders.  How about some of these for inspiration?

Then of course there are the "not so literal" interpretations to be considered... like the natural achitechture of a forest, a garden....Sheesh, what is a person to do?
