The Three Muses - HOT, HOT, HOT!!


Marie has set a 'HOT' theme this week because in Western Australia she is 'living in a blast furnace!'   But with heat can come disastrous fires resulting in the loss of homes, landscape and unfortunately, lives.  My entry features gum trees and at the centre a stylized flame using an Australian bottle brush flower.  The background/frame is a patchwork of flowers with the 'stained glass' filter applied.

    Wow! Judy, this is magnificent. I am in awe. Wouldn't it look superb printed on canvas and framed? It has to be the best thing you have ever done. I really appreciate the thought you have put into it to give is an Australian flavour. Wow!(Weather report today - it is 34C at 10am and will climb to over 38 by the afternoon).

    Just a wonderful card, love these colours.
    I love high temperatures, but the other side, the fires in some countries are a bad thing. In Germany we only have a short summer and the temperatures aren't very hot.

    This is a very clever piece Judy. Love the use of the stained glass filter - it works so well here.

    Judy, there's a group of remarkable, gifted ladies like you, whose talent shines through their digital art (and their wicked humour too, I may add!). I adore your artwork and am so happy to see such a beautiful creation first thing this morning!! Bravo!

    Well I just LOVE orange colours !!
    And your work is amazing Judy !
    I can see it right before me....a forest in flames. I always feel so sorry for the animals that can not escape :(
    The 'stained glass' filter I don't use often. In someway I receive never a good effect with it but yours is stunning !!
