This one was easy – ha!

In my case ANY selfie is QUIRKY {smile}

I definitely prefer the abstract when it comes to portraying myself.

I think these turned out rather fun. . . .

 

Textured with Bonnie's Blue Rhapsody texture (Crystalline Quartet Set) {love this set!}

 

Textured with Bonnie's Old World Charm 1 (Old World Charm Set)

 

I find it amusing that both of these are reflections of me in my computer screen. Tells you where I spend most of my time. The first one was taken outside, so a lot of what is going on around me is the reflection of trees and leaves behind me, and the sun shining through my hair.  The second selfie {my personal favorite} was a complete accident. I was trying to do something on my new phone and took a picture instead!

It was perfect timing for Bonnie's party this week! And speaking of Bonnie – for those of you who do not already know – Bonnie truly is a special lady.

It was through Bonnie's encouraging blog and gracious giving of her free textures that I came to appreciate "abstract" art. I am a purist at heart – a "straight out of the camera" kinda girl. But Bonnie awakened a new path of creativity in me, and along with that a new appreciation for all forms of art. There are still some photos I can't bring myself to "texturize," but I've had a lot of fun playing and "making" art with my photographs, too.

Bonnie is a true artist. You can see it in her photo art, her paintings and her textures.  And you experience it in her encouragement and gracious spirit. If you haven't met Bonnie, or taken the time to get to know her, I encourage you to do so.

Don't forget to stop by and check out the Gallery this week!

 

Have a wonder-filled day,
