Venice by Moonlight


Title :       Venice by Moonlight
Darkside Challenge:     Masks
The How:     PSE 2 / 19 layers

Source Photos:

The Back-ground is such a marvelously evocate one -a turn-of-the-last-Century Postcard- that I left it totally intact; selecting colours and blends and  building the rest of the images around it!

Images taken  from sets of folders I"ve maintained over the years of pictures in the Public Domain for the majority, woman- called Castiglione/ maybe an Italian actress or Opera star?- included.
The recent edition is the huge Mardis Gras mask from a  Public domain Clip Art site.
