For this post we have the Final Round Pictures from our four 2013 GPC Finalists!
Weee!!!

Here they are in no particular order....

Wall 

I wanted my final entry to be more than just a pretty picture, so I decided to go with a Memorial Day theme in light of the upcoming holiday. Charlie and Rontu are standing at the "Wall of Honor", part of a local memorial called the "Veterans Walk of Honor". Charlie is holding a bouquet of roses that she plans to leave at the wall as a thank you. 

I am so thankful for the men and women who served and are currently serving in our military, and I wanted to express that in this photo. What makes this even more significant for me is that my grandfather and my father both fought for our country. They were fortunate enough to survive the wars they were a part of, but many others were not. My prayer is that as a nation we will never forget the sacrifices made by our military men and women, for freedom is never really free.

Surreal

I was at my favorite reading spot, an old stump, the warm summer light shown down on me. I was completely lost in the book I was reading; the story was wonderful with its epic action, touch of love, and a bit of mystery. I must have grown tired as I read and my eyes must have closed because the next thing I knew I was the brave maiden walking by the elf princess’s horse to her coronation. The butterflies danced around us and the trees sang. I should have known it was a dream… it was all so, surreal…

Environment 

Kit and Ruthie spend their afternoon searching their environment for buried treasure.

Installation

This entry was quite the process. I chose the theme of Installation because it was one of the few terms that I didn't know; I wanted to learn something new. Wow, installation is cool!! I looked at some other artists' works and spent a couple days brainstorming ideas. Then it was time to get out the doll clothes and the duct tape....

This is my entry, I have named it after a question that transcends time itself: 

"What Will I Wear?"


Which pic is your fav???

Penny will be judging the order of the winners sometime this week. :-)

A very, very difficult choice to make as they are all good. I hope we are allowed two votes because I couldn't choose between The Wall and the Installation (What Will I Wear) photo.
