Weekly Challenge at Inspiration Avenue: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

For those of you who've seen the stages of this since it's beginning might notice a lot of changes- in the flowers, her pose, dragonfly tattoo, etc....it's taken me a while to get there, but I think she's close to being done.  I just want to fade out that tattoo a bit and maybe play a little more with the flowers......it's getting close to that point where I need to leave it lest I run the risk of overworking and ruining it!
 I know the flowers were more "rainbow-ish" before and thus more fitting for this week's challenge of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", but I just had to change them.  I think this piece still works for the challenge because there is a rainbow of colors in here, even if they're not in rainbow format.....btw the way I must say thank you to Lisa DiNunzio for the idea of a dragonfly tatt- I think it's the perfect finishing touch, even though it's still too dark- I LOVE it!
Be sure to pop over to Inspiration Avenue to see what everyone else has come up with for this week- there's certain to be a fabulous array of beauty there in a rainbow of colors!
Have a brilliantly colorful day!
Stephanie

Loving the addition of the dragonfly. Its always so hard to know when to stop and chances are after a couple weeks or so you will want to do something else with it, depending on how the mood takes you...lol
Enjoy your Sunday, Stephanie. Annette x

It has a real sense of serene mystery :) LOVE the dragonfly tattoo - it does need lightening a little I agree, but what a fab idea! x
