Started to paint the Rainbow tree on canvas. Not finished but I like it this way.

Rainbow tree, I still have the trunk and branches to do.

The two Rainbow images is photographed in different light that is why they have different colors. The first one is closest to natural colors.

It is really hot and dry in Sweden right now and a bit up north from me there are lots of forest fires burning. I have been indoors for two days with the cooler on. Great to have something to do then.

Linking up with the following memes. My thanks to the hosts:

To celebrate Mothers in my family

Click image to enlarge!

Sent to my grandmother in 1909, she was 5 year old.

Today, last sunday in May, Swedish people celebrate Mothers day.
This card was sent to my grandmother (my fathers mother) in 1909 on the Ingrid name-day in our almanack. My grandmothers name was Ingrid and her name is written on the card. She was born 1904 so she was 5 years old when she recieved the card. Before she died I was given all of her cards to take care of.

A bit lazy today I´, afraid. To hot outside all of a sudden. Just a few days ago it was winter :(

Using a software called FotoSketcher 3.0 I created the two images below from the one on top. They are very small, only 900 pix wide.

You can do a lot with this software but yoy have the best effect on small images. And everything don´t look good. So you use it wisely. But soon I will have my computers working, finger crossed! Then I can start praticing on the pad I have but could not use. Will be fun to see if I can handle it!

Well, not old really. I took one of my posters and transferred it to a retro sketch. I hope it is :)
