Vintage memories


I made this piece this morning, for the following challenges:
Friday Sketchers - followed the sketch
ColourQ - burgundy coral, sage, artichoke and white (I subbed the white for a neutral cream)
Tuesday Taggers - Memories
Ooh La La Creations - vintage man

The image is a public domain Victorian photograph, (I don't know who it's by or the name of the subject, sorry) and I did everything else in PSP. Thanks for looking :D

Hi Susan
I love those colours. They are reminiscent of the the colours they used to use in Victorian parlours.
