Brilliant – love your diptychs and always wonder at how well you match them!
Love these dyptichs, Elizabeth …. You are brilliant at matching things!
Always love your diptychs Elizabeth, these are terrific. It’s amazing how many examples you find that are such marvelous matches. Terrific idea for the challenge.
Fantastic set of diptychs; brilliant response to the challenge 👏 My favourite has to be be the scratched sign & tree silhouettes 😃 Thanks for joining the fun 😊
The scratched sign/tree silhouette almost didn’t make the cut – I was certain I could find a bush silhouette in snow that matched even better. However the luminous sky won me over. I’m glad you like it.
