Can you tell I'm over the cold weather - Nothing like a little
bit of beach art to lift the winter doldrums!

Fashion On The Beach - Tybee Island

Tybee Island Photo Shoot

While searching the web the other day,
I came across this fashion photograph on
Olive Rue's Blog.
The photo, taken by Crytsal of
Beadale Photography ~
was an image from one of her trash the dress sessions on Tybee Beach.
I fell in love with the photo and asked Crystal's permission to use it
as an inspirational starting point for one of my hand painted photo collages.
Permission was delightfully granted ~
~ So ~
~ here is my take on her beautiful photograph ~

Fashion on the Beach
8"x10" Hand Painted Collage on Canvas

Both pieces are available -
just click on the title under Crystal's photo
or my painting and it will link you to our respective shops.

I look forward to creating more hand painted collage pieces in
conjunction with Crystal and her beautiful photographs!

Have a wonderful, creative weekend.
