I shot this during an auto trip yesterday. Janet Petty says it's an "Ox eye daisy." I'll go with that!

Have fun...

And I mean it too. :)

By the way, those are daisies Danny. Going ahead and attaching the seamless texture and GIMP brush (Image Hose) that I used for the rendering above. :)

Great interpretation, Lyle... and wonderful message.

re: flower ID
Janet came to my rescue, too. :) What would I do w/o you guys!

Seem to be stuck in the darkness loop I Hadnt intended for this to be that dark it just sort of went that way

And a good Easter to you all and Lyle pity you cant do that for real on a lawn as i love seeing daisies in the grass

Happy Easter ALL!
I am jealous, no flowers at my house yet :(

Lyle- love your message!
Palms- yes, that would be pretty cool if we could do that on a real lawn! :)
I really like your soft but crackly look, can you share your workflow?

thanks Palms - I've seen that tute before. Yours just seemed to have a nice softness to it. Anyway, I like it:)

Anyone remember the song from years ago, "I'll Give You a Daisy a Day". These daisies reminded me of that song.

Here is my rendition.

Thanks Danny for the great spring flower.
