So here’s a moon rising over the hills. I used a photo texture and the masking tool to create the moon’s texture, and for the stars, I used a single small circle and duplicated randomly with the spraypaint tool.

296 of 365 is one definition of life #Inkscape @philshapiro

 

Definition of life
Definition of life

Phil Shapiro, a long time supporter of this project, who contacts me regularly about Inkscape related stories and sites. He recently contacted me and suggested:

Here’s an inspirational quote I totally made up today. “Life is a rich tapestry of metaphors interwoven with another rich tapestry of other metaphors.” Can you give this a 365 Sketches treatment to place the text centered (landscape) with a weaving theme around all four borders? <giggle> phil

Thanks, Phil! I didn’t know exactly what to do with the weaving around the four borders, but I really love the way this font and color renders a rich interweaving tapestry. 🙂

So this is a portrait of my son, David, from a photo of him I took during a trip to Virginia. He’s such a cutie pie, but he’s got an amazingly serious face that he puts on sometimes. I thought this image captured that intense seriousness.

I am ashamed to say that I lost track of who asked for this, but I hope they’ll remind me in the comments, etc. This is one of my favorite birds, with an amazing song, and delightful appearance.
