Free spirit

This is my DT layout made for ARTastic´s May challenge. The challenge is to get inspired by a painting called the Cricketer´s by George Russell Drysdale. The layout should also have an outdoor sports theme. Here´s my take:
I really love this picture of DD running up the hill in our garden. There´s something special about this picture and it made me think of having a free spirit – so that´s what the layout is called. I decorated the patterned paper in the background with acrylic paint, ink and gesso. The kites are handmade. Here´s some close ups:

Thanks for looking! I really hope you choose to play along!!!

  6. Fina färger som verkligen passar ihop med fotografiet! De mistade hexagonerna och blommorna passar jättebra ihop. Och dom flygande drakarna är pricken över i:et då de passar jättebra till din dotters spring.
