"My Knight" Fine Art Print by Hayley Solich - RedBubble [2392302]

"My Knight" Fine Art Print by Hayley Solich - RedBubble [2392302]

I entered a competition to create a piece that reminds you of happy days. I chose to use my wedding as the theme of my piece. This photo is my husband, Andrew and his two groomsmen. I've layered it over my wedding album cover.

I've so enjoyed experimenting with Photoshop and photography. It made me think about the All Things Women blog and to want to put up an encouragement to women everywhere to try new things. You just never know when you might find that you have a talent in a different area than you have been used to operating in your life.

I had a dream about four months ago and in that dream the Director of the Creative Arts school that I attended picked me out of a crowd and said to me, "I am appointing you an Ambassador to the Creative Arts". In the dream I thought to myself, "Creative Arts??? But I'm into Performing Arts, not Creative Arts. Creative Arts is the Fine Arts and I can't paint or draw for nuts!" I then was looking for other reasons why he may have chosen me. I looked down and I was wearing a red shirt. I thought to myself, 'Maybe he chose me because of my red shirt?"

The symbolism in this dream to me was the red shirt represented passion. I am definitely a passionate person and give 110% to everything I do.

The Creative Arts is as I thought, the Fine Arts and that is what this piece above is a composite or Fine Art piece.

Sometimes we have a limited view of who we can be because we have not yet encountered the person that is hidden within us. But when the time is right and if we are open to change, all things are possible!

I'd love to know what you think of this piece. Please leave a comment.
