The Mimosa is blooming

[Janet Petty]

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.

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

Very nice, Neve.

The brush strokes came out perfectly!

WOW Neve. Great stuff.

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

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

WOW Ro. Awesome!

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

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.
