Creative interpretations: Flowers - Purple & Ready for Spring (JanetP)

[Neve]

Thanks Janet, I have cross-stitch projects on my walls so I know how long that takes me..the pity is, I spend too much time computing now to do much stitching.

Lovely result Jaykita, innovative and pleasant to view. I recall you posted something prior with those delicate florals, that was lovely too.

Thank you, Neve. I have Impressionist, but I've not spent much time getting acquainted with it, and I've never added "sets" to it. I'll go browsing the pages you showed me.

[Neve]

Wonderful result Crex....I agree wholeheartedly with No. 25

[PamSav]

Here's my attempt with the flowers. Are they Impatiens?, they look like the ones I had last summer.

Masked the flowers out in PSCS, duplicated the bottom left one and placed it top right.

3 different watercolour brushes in Painter IX then back into PSCS for Impressionist jch VanGogh and fingerpaint. Added trimoons artpaper texture and there you have it I've been trying to practice with a more loose and realistic watercolour effect so I really like this.

[Neve]

I really like this too Pam, lovely result. I get mixed up between vincas and impatiens!???

[Janet Petty]

I seriously doubt these flowers are impatiens for two simple reasons. One, they are wildflowers and I found them in the deep woods; Two, they are perennials. I don't believe impatiens are. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. (Ok, I did find out there are some varieties of impatiens that are perennials.)

In the meantime, have fun with them. I'm sitting here iced in and wishing for spring and more wildflowers. I'll do some serious research into finding out what kind of flowers they are and let ya'll know.

I'm glad everyone has such a variety of artistic talent. Wonderful stuff.

Janet

These flowers are in the phlox family. Referenced "Wildflowers of Arkansas" by Carl G. Hunter.

[PamSav]

They're really pretty flowers whatever they are and spring will be here before we know it !

Defiitely in favor of Spring and Summer. Our trees and flowers are all starting to bloom in Florida and I have my performed my annual rite of Spring - planting grass plugs in the yard. I used to live up north but can't imagine those very cold conditions for too long, any more. Am off to Africa in a few weeks and they, like Australia are heading into fall and winter.

Very cool Crex, and love your's Catherine... in fact all the entries are lovely.
I don't paint many flowers (this is my defense and I'm sticking to it!), but thought I would try my hand at a few different brushes... it's all fun.
