Sunday Postcard Art--Sea Voyages


Here is my postcard for this week's challenge. My inspiration for this is that as I type, my sister and her husband are sailing up the East Coast from Florida to Mattapoisett, MA, on a boat not much bigger than this one. If I hadn't heard all the stories of cold and heat and rain and bugs and broken engines and no wind, I'd say "What a Life!"

I'll still say it..."What a Life!"

The original image is one of my own photos, altered with artistic filters andd duplicated for the second boat. Background textires are from Cottage Arts, Scrapbook FLair and Cindy Powell's Painted Silks collection.
