Sunflowers Abstract Art

I'm dabbling with a new graphic art design format, and loving it! 

I created this sunflower burst of color last weekend. I purchased some flower stencils, even though I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them. Then I got out my iPad, and my art muse kicked into high gear. It's a very detailed and lengthy process, but I enjoyed playing with this piece and love the outcome. This is the first art work in my abstract flowers series. I'm not sure how I will top this design, but let's hope roses inspire me.

Pop Art Puzzle

On August 28, I posted a picture of a cardinal puzzle I finished. I also included another picture of a pop art puzzle and a diamond art of a cardinal in a cherry blossom tree. I said I wanted to start the diamond art first, and I did start it, but soon afterward, I hauled out the pop art (1000 piece) puzzle that my daughter bought me for my birthday. A few weeks later, I finished it! The photo doesn't do the puzzle justice as it's quite colorful and includes a lot of popular monuments across the world. 

While, I enjoyed this puzzle, the box cover did not show the whole scene. Every corner was cut off. And the box didn't include a paper photo as many puzzles do these days. So, I couldn't tell what was on every corner and the whole right side. That was frustrating, but I did complete it. I asked my daughter when she buys me another puzzle, to make sure the box shows the whole scene, lol.
