Inch by Inch Art Tuesday

Here's my entry into Paris' Inch by Inch art (click on the link in the sidebar for details if you would like to participate). This week's theme is: Journey/Traveling and I took it very literally.





'A Room with a View' is inspired by a photograph taken from my hotel room on a trip to Innsbruck, Austria, a few years ago. It is the prettiest fairytale town and those are supposed to be huge mountains in the background, complete with a river (just behind the trees) flowing through the town. It's done on a sheet of paper in oil pastels!

  3. I drove through Innsbruck on the way to the Swarvoski factory I think. I remember coming down out of the mountains and the scene opens up onto the town. Beautiful. Lucky you to have the time to look around and really see the town. Love your rendition of the view out of your windows.

    Paris, your inch by inch is such a great idea. and fun.

    Steviewren, thanks for visiting and appreciating my humble effort. We actually witnessed an Austrian summer wedding while we were there, complete with boys in lederhosen


    Floreta, I appreciate your comment!

    yyam, thanks for your comment. I'm over to see your entry.

    Lilly, the oil pastels I used were like crayons, really, very 'easy'. Can't wait to see what you do for next week's challenge. (as in..will she go 'deep?') (-:
