Home Bound For the Holidays | "Talent Tuesdays" in FreeCompliments Community

I'm here again to share with you another project for "Talent Tuesdays". My current project is titled "Home Bound" and consists of a mixed media art design whose theme is returning home for the holidays.

During the holiday season, we hear that millions of individuals travel to return home or visit to spend time with their family far away. The desire to do so is to spend quality time with loved one whom they may not get a chance to see on a yearly basis.

The hustle and bustle of traveling can be as easy as one makes it or as difficult depending on individual circumstances. The key to a successful pilgrimage home I feel is planning and then execution.

I liken it to a winter family reunion. No matter how large or small, the gathering is meant to bring family members together to celebrate as one. It's a time of year to put aside all differences and strive to do better in the coming year or going forward.

The sights and sounds of the holiday season is a joy to behold.

Whether you are traveling a short distance or many miles to get home or visit, I hope you have safe travels.

Blending elements for my project was accomplished utilizing Canva, my design program. Below are my steps in which I added layers of elements, removed backgrounds, duplicated images, resized, and repositioned items as needed.

I utilized a wintry forest scene. An imposing image of a woman who could very well be the matriarch of a family too center stage in my design. The globe symbolized that going or coming home is a world-wide occurrence. The colors blue and white to depict a wintry scene has always been appealing to my senses. It speaks of a quiet calm.

I share with you the images I included in my design that created this winter scene.
