Fading colors of the past


Hello, friends. The Three Muses asked for something VINTAGE. I did a remake of this collage, which I never liked much. I like the new version more. Hope you enjoy it too.

Thanks to Beth Rimmer (some elements) and Kim Klassen (textures). Background is a photo of mine.

Olá, amigos. As três musas pediram algo VINTAGE. Fiz uma releitura desta colagem, da qual nunca gostei muito - achava muito poluída. Da nova versão gosto mais. Espero que você também goste.

  1. This is indeed more magical makeover Christine !! Very well done !!
    I also use often a texture at the top of my layers. It integrates the individual elements better together don't you think too ?

  9. Christine!~ This is drop dead gorgeous. I can't tell you how much I love the soft and sightly grungy vintage touch which looks so authentic. The fact that you used your own photograph is amazing because you have obviously been able to alter it from a modern print to something that looks so old and worn. Fantastic.

  18. I love the subtle colors on this wonderful piece, Chris. I don't know what you did with it before, but it would be hard to top this interpretation! Thanks for sharing.

  21. I enjoyed your comment about fighting tedium by drawing people nearby. I was very much aware that the woman suspected I was drawing her even though I was trying very to be discreet.

  22. I went back and made the photo larger. It was already set for 300, which usually means that it will enlarge by clicking on it. Don't know what happened. If you have a chance go back and look at the photo and the grades. My art grade is not that good!!!

  23. This is so wonderful with the vintage look. The pale blue radiates from the picture.
