Eternal Spring


























Here's another one that I created using a flowery paintbrush...

Beauty's Dream


























Again, I created this one in Photoshop, using a rose paintbrush plus...
...yes, you've guessed it, another picture of the sky.
I took the photo a couple of weeks ago and thought it would make an effective backdrop, so I began experimenting with it. I only added the roses just to see what they'd look like against a cloudy backdrop - and I was quite pleased with the result!

Illusions


Just a little something else that I created in Photoshop (and that's all I'm saying, he he!!!).

Evening Skies


Sometimes, I just love to sit back, relax and watch the sky! I like to sit and watch the clouds drift by - and this was no exception! I took this one a few days ago, just a couple of hours before sunset. It had rained earlier that day but, by the evening, the sun was shining brightly and there was barely a cloud in the sky (apart from this one, that is).

A Snail's Life


I couldn't resist this shot either, he he!

Purple Pansies









































We have some beautiful purple pansies in our garden - and I just couldn't resist getting a couple of shots...
Unfortunately, I had to brave the rain in order to take these pictures, though. Typical British weather!

Blue Fantasy



Top: Crystal Dreams.
Bottom: Blue Fantasy.

These are just a couple of pictures that I've been working on over the past couple of days.
Again, I used Photoshop (and yes, I used the fan brushes again!).

Crystal Dreams was an experiment with both fan brushes and shapes. I was quite pleased with the end result, so I decided to use it for my next project (Blue Fantasy).

Blue Fantasy is, in fact, a collage. It's mostly made up of old patterns and pictures that I created last year. I must admit that I had a lot of fun putting the whole lot together last night, he he!

Abstract Rose


I think the title says it all really...

Death's Dream

























I must have been thinking scary thoughts when I created this one, he he!

Seriously though, this was another experiment with the fan brushes in Photoshop.
Unlike my other stuff, though, I'd actually planned what I wanted to do with this one - and I'm pleased to say that the picture turned out exactly the way that I'd planned it!

Don't you just love it when plans work? :-)
