Creative Tuesdays - Ringing in the the New Year

Firstly, Happy New Year to all my CT buddies, may 2015 bring you good health and happiness.

Secondly back to business, the first prompt for this year over at Creative Tuesdays is Ringing in the New Year.

There seems to be so much discord in the world with people treating others in the most atrocious ways, so on the back of that I have chosen the word "hope".  There was no forethought put into this piece I let the word dictate what came from my pen.


Pop over to Mr T's to see more New Year prompts.

    Linda, this is simply lovely and I so agree with your sentiment above. Yes, hope is the thing to hold to now and through the year.

    BTW, not sure you're interested and hope you don't mind, but as it's such a wonderful piece, I took the liberty to take the photo and adjust it to more what I imagine the original piece looks like, if indeed the paper is truly white? Feel free to use it if you'd like. You can find it here:

    Thanks again for another delightful and even PRETTY contribution. I love it's serene simplicity of colour and delicacy yet intricate too in the line art.

    This is wonderful, Linda. I love the inspiration behind your contribution piece. And you're right - too much junk going on in the world. Very sad. We need alot of hope. Happy New Year! :) xx

    Hope! In this crazy mixed up world I lean heavily on the hope my faith gives me for the future. Great pen and ink work.

    Yeah, the new version is up! OK, I can do that for you anytime you need it, Linda. I do realise the blue is brighter than you had of course but at least the whole thing is more true to what you had in terms of the white. :) natural white is hard to reproduce in photos alone.
