Nice one Terri. Your personality, big ball of warmth even though it’s cool in application.

Thank you so much! It's been awhile and I felt messy and unsure the whole time. The holding tape tore the paper. Botchy marks scattered around. You name it, I did it on this one. But I had fun with the OPs and still adore them, so it was worth the clean-up time involved!

I have a large acrylic painting at home that I decided to finish digitally for this challenge. My health doesn’t really allow me to physically paint much anymore. Especially a painting this size. So it’s been sitting here for years about 90% done.
My artist friends suggested I should try some digital art. But I would need to upgrade all my technology. Mine work fine, but are now deemed obsolete for security updates and current digital programs. So I cannot use them. I have an iPhone to use.
Here’s what I came up with.
I thought it would be nice to flip this piece from daytime into a nighttime scene. I did some some tiny drawing in my photo program to the photo of my original. I had AI take that and I specifically added a night sky and tweaked lighting/shades that I wanted in the water and the sky. Most of the image is my own.
Then I had to add fireworks for fun!
I still really like doing art the traditional way. But I do think it’s wonderful what people can do digitally. It will be my first mixed originial /digital piece.
My happy tree!

This is so cool. To combine the real with digital is a great idea. I like how the fireworks seem to be in front and behind the happy tree!
