Two Posts in One Day




I've been so taken by the beautiful images by Shirley McCutcheon for quite some time. But the layouts in the new Somerset Studio are beyond stunning. She uses such haunting images in layers that define nature and children's faces in all of her works of art. After studying them for several days, I finally got the nerve to make some transparencies of my own and put together a piece .

Couldn't have done it without the great tutorial from Shirley. I hope you like it.

Thanks for everything, Shirley, you're the Best!!!

    This is just SO beautiful! It is amazing to me how much you are able to get done on a daily basis. Maybe someday, when the little ones are grown, I will be able to aspire to such productive creativity.
    You are amazing.
