Art Challenge- Town/Stars

I like to enter into the "2 Things" art challenge hosted by 2 Things Blog. Each week, the Author of 2 Things blog lets us know which two words were randomly selected and we are to interpret them artistically however we see fit. You can join too! We would love new creative minds to play along. 

This week's challenge was Town/Stars

Here is my interpretation:
Starry Night in Venice by Kristina Conatser

The image above is a digital mixed media style design. I utilized a few different types of images along with some very cool Photoshop filters to create the final product. I have always wanted to travel to Venice. I believe that on a starry night while travelling by boat across the water with someone I love, it would be quiet romantic. Venice is definitely on my bucket list of places to travel. 

Where is a place you would most like to visit? 

Have you been to Venice, Italy? If so, what was the best part of your visit?

Art Challenge- Town/ Illusion

I am running a bit late on this challenge by 2 Things Blog... I got caught up with work and home type stuff. For some reason or another I thought "Town/Illusion" was this upcoming Sunday's theme but missed some weekend's somehow LOL. Sorry about that. I get ahead of myself sometimes, and then I get lost in translation. Anywho, I am back... at least for the time being. Being late, I am unsure of whether my submission will take... but I would like to share it anyways. 

When I saw the theme for the week, it reminded me of my trip to Tennessee for my husband's and my honeymoon. On the way to the place in which we were staying, we had to pass all of the tourist attractions in the town of Pigeon Forge. One of the attractions we passed was an attraction called "Wonderworks". This attraction stood out to me because the whole building was designed upside down! I only had a disposable camera back then, so I tried my best to take a decent photo of the attraction as we passed it.

You'll also see a small glimpse of me in the side view mirror taking the picture LOL. 

In this town of Pigeon Forge I am awed by the building that gives
an illusion that it has been dropped from Heaven. 


This building has the appearance that it fell from the sky and landed upside down. It is cracked in certain places of the foundation and on the columns in certain places, to imply this. I believe this place is a museum for children. There is apparently another one of these cool attractions in Florida. It looks like a great place to visit. I bet it is quite fun too!
