art challenge day 1 - St. Ives and it's many moods

I've very kindly been invited by five other artists on facebook and twitter

to take part in the art challenge that is going around at the moment

 

thank you to Tina Jenson, Joelle Fanlo, Bozena - Textile Cuisine and Amanda White

 

I am supposed to share old work for five days and nominate other artists to take the challenge.  As, I believe, the art challenge began while I was taking my break ... I have no idea who has already taken part in the challenge already ... so I'm going to say if you would like to take part feel free to share your old work on facebook.  I will be sharing mine on my facebook page if you would like to follow along

 

last evening the idea came to me to share some old work in the form of a mosaic

so here we are ... and all images are my own

 

this one is inspired by the many aspects of St. Ives that I love

1. just before it rained 2. surfing figure 3. a bright winter day 4. softly stormy 5. stormy skies over St. Ives 6. St. Ives cottages cobbles and lichen 7. Cornish cottage inchies inspired by St. Ives Cornwall 8. cold and frosty morning 9. a sky full of snow 10. St. Ives textures - a persistent thread 11. cobbles 12. contemplating ... 13. seagull study

 

also sharing today a couple of little mixed media collages

 

a melancholy for sand dunes and dreaming of childhood holidays

 

and this one is inspired by the lighthouse on Smeaton's pier, St. Ives

 

have a very happy Monday ♥
