The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

At Take a Word the  theme this week is ART and I decided to play a little bit and also pay homage to artists I like.

The background is Paul Signac's "Le Chateau de Comblat", Girls are from a Louis Vuitton catwalk. I replaced the black parts of their clothes by patterns from Gustav Klimt's paitings The Apple Tree and Tannenwald. The girl on the right wears a collar a borrow from Judith and the girl on the left has now Mäda Primavesi face. Finally lots of filters and a Kim Klassen texture.

Let's party!

This week at Take a Word the challenge theme is BEAUTY. This is my attempt.

I photographed the kids last year at a wedding party. Before the adults took over the dance floor, children enjoyed it a lot! Background/overlay: Pareeerica; illustration at the background: Dover.
