I have been working on this journal page (Le Cirque) for a little while now and I wanted to add a surreal quality to it. The theme for The Three Muses is "Art in the Round" this week so I worked with some digital effects and came up with this "spherized" quality that I think works well with this piece. I like the way the sphere seems to emerge from the canvas encapsulating the circus figure like a bubble. Background is hand painted on canvas. Face and hands from (Dover). Costume is made from fabric, trim and beads. Feathers added for headdress.

Lori, just when I think I have seen your best, along comes another one to replace it on the pedestal!! This is so beautiful - the composition, the colours, the hybrid mix of so gorgeous elements. The overall effect is one of a luscious painting. I love the sphere effect which does indeed make the image appear to be looming out of the picture. Great work.
