Posted for Chas who is busy doing stretching & range-of-motion exercises.

It's "Make Art Monday!" So let's get busy and make some GREAT art!

Change a blend mode, play with a filter ..... anything goes as "ART"

This is just a little push to encourage your trying something new. You may post as many times as you wish throughout the week. Brushes, patterns, gradients, abstracts or anything that pleases you


Venus (top), moon & Mercury (bottom) as seen in Texas Feb 26, 2012
I was not able to see Jupiter which was said to be above Venus.

The photo is not that impressive. But to see the Venus & Mercury together with the moon was exciting. I don't recall seeing the group before, & I don't know if/when I might see the group again.

I bet Rusty has much better images of the event.

Betty you can not get a better image if it was taken by you. Awesome photo.

Great shot, Betty. I saw the moon, Venus and Jupiter but not Mercury. (It had probably gone below my horizon.) I wished I'd had my camera handy as it was a beautiful sight - very clear sky.

Great night photo, BJ.

Last Sat. we went to 'Florida Cracker Days' at a nearby state park. Fun shots of old timey things and people dressed in period costumes.

Love it Tennie. Check out those instruments!

Here is my Art. Played with the gradients-filters and blend modes.

Thanks for the comments Judy, Angela & Tennie.

Real nice cracker image & treatment, Tennie.

Terrific colors & texture for your fun finger-painting art, Judy

Judy, you bring art to a new level. So very creative and fun, love the fingerpainting!

Nice efforts so far this week.
No, I sure do not have a better "moon w/planets" so I played around with something I shot in my yard a few days ago...
