I've been working like a dog on this latest mosaic. It's not necessarily one of the biggest I've done, but it goes in a new direction for me. More realistic than previous works. This is the first in a series that I'm planning based on abandoned family snapshots. They may be old photos of family members or maybe even people that nobody remembers, but I like the composition and vintage look of the photo. In the mosaic I'm trying to evoke the feeling of the vintage photo and the odd sort of voyeuristic feel of some snapshots.
This is the full image and below is a detail.
This is the work I submitted to my first ever juried art show. It is for the Society of American Mosaic Artists convention in March of next year. If I'm chosen to participate it will hang in the Navy Pier in Chicago for March and April of next year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I just love this mosaic, Jackie! Wow. We are on our honeymoon and so this has special meaning to me! Going to the beach is such a treat and I am sure that this couple probably will remember that day. I really hope you win! I am going through the myfamily site here at the library in the Florida Keys! I know, funny to be doing such a silly thing on our honeymoon but we don't have internet and this is our first day of getting some so I wanted to catch up!
