DREAMERS CHALLENGE NOVEMBER 23, COWBOY BOOTS

This weeks challenge is "Cowboy Boots"
A bit unusual for a challenge? Yes, but when I saw this copyright free image from Ryan Mcquire, I just had to use it and since it is copyright free you can use it too.


Cowboy Boots come in all different styles and colors. Here are some things to spark your imagination.

They can be fancy for the parade, rugged for the rodeo with spurs or the ranch hand who is wrestling cattle. Girls wear them as well as children. They can dress up the prettiest western outfit for a barn dance or kick the tires of that old tractor.

This is what I did with the image of cowboy boots.
I used two backgrounds from Gratisography. Two vintage images of pin up girls and of course the image of cowboy boots from Ryan McGuire. Filters and Photoshop brushes finished this piece.

Happy Creating!


FYI
Each week Carole Anne and I take turns with the challenges. Sorry for the confusion.
I hope to have a Sneak Peek with each of my challenges so look for that.
Thank you all for participating.
