Texture Tuesday....Dream-Like Edition...

This week on Texture Tuesday, Kim challenged us

to create a wispy, dream-like photo.

I used a photo of a water lily, I took on a water hazard, at a golf course.

It was a warm sunny day, in Indian Wells, CA.

I used three of Kim's textures:

Sybil, Leslie and Violet.

Then, I softly removed a bit of the textures from the lily,

and the water line.

I desaturated  the background copy, to tone down the bright 

pink of the lily, and the brightness of the leaves.

It all softened the original, quite a bit,

and gave it a dreamy, painterly feeling.

Photo Art Friday....Connect...

It's time for 

Photo Art Friday.

This week, Bonnie has given us the prompt

connected/connecting/connection.

To connect is to join.

Kind of like what we do here.

Last fall, we took a trip out west.

Here, along Interstate 10....
which connects the East Coast, with the West Coast...

there is this large wind farm.

These giants produce power.  And power helps us all connect with 

one another and the world.

I used two of Bonnie's textures.

Creative Canvas-- color burn @ 100%

Brown Rice Paper-- hard light @ 100%
