I thought I'd take a picture of the gorgeous blossoms on this wicked little tree that grows in the Ozarks (and elsewhere). Have fun playing with the fluffy little blossoms before they are gone for another year.

Janet

Thanks Janet, these are beautiful!

Just a quick go at this....Buzzed first and then into Painter.

Very nice, Neve.

The brush strokes came out perfectly!

Rô

WOW Neve. Great stuff.

Here is mine. It is a combination of Impressionist Cloner, Den's Funky Chunky, and Impasto, then back to Photoshop for texture and embossing.

Janet

Alright, Mz Janet. This funky enough for you???

very nice, neve, janet!

but, you reminded me of one of my favorite animals, the very rare pink mimosa porcupine. thought i'd post a picture of it, even though it is a bit off topic :)

Craig

Way Cool Kraelin. What an imagination!

Janet

thanks, janet :)

i love your pics. we have mimosa's here in western kentucky also. they are just gorgeous when the whole tree is in bloom.

and, very nice, kiska :)

Craig

Yes, a very painterly result Janet, well done. Funky is right Kiska - terrific. Craig... :bigthmb: for imagination!

thanks, neve :)

i'm also working on another ;)

Craig

Seems like everone's having fun... I want some too :dizzy: :dizzy:

Big Painter cloned oily brush strokes for colour and background;
High pass sharpened luminosity blended in the middle;
Radial lighting overlay.

Tried to create a Mimosa Samosa but you'll have to settle for this. Thought I'd play with some standard stuff like spherize and ocean ripple. BTW Ro, luv the colors.

cheers
Dave

WOW Ro. Awesome!

And Duv, I love the ripples. It gives just the right whimsical touch.

Janet

Double wow Ro and Dave. Beautiful work.

I thought try a montage. I used several photos and used different blending modes. I added texture and letters and a paint dab filter.

Cathy

Ro, if you arent doing this for a living, you shld be. great colors and effect!

Duv, interesting effect, almost like a reflection in a pond.

great form, cathy. well put together.

Craig

Thanks, Craig. There are some beautiful pieces showing up here. Great jobs everyone.

Cathy :bigthmb:

Janet, another gorgeous blossom that inspires so much creativity!
Neve, just right for a pretty note card
Janet, that's a tapestry
Kiska, awesome! Love it.
Craig, totally cool
Ro, I've gotta try that radial light overlay
Dave, beautiful, looks underwater
Cathy, I love collage, and this has wonderful elements in it

Here's mine using Painter IX Funky Chunky brush

Raniday, you simply have to increase the number of your renditions. Reviewing your work, it's all first class as is this!

Cheers
Dave

Thanks so much, Dave! :kisses:

Good job everyone. Ro's and Raniday's are esp. nice.
A couple of filters to highlight the flower, and finished off with fantastic machine's paint engine (remember this plug-in??)
