Bonnie gave us the challenge to use two or  more improbable images. I think I may have taken this too far, but I had a bit of fun with a photograph of my cat and a vase of flowers, I used “Drips of Degas” as my texture.

This week’s tutorial is to take a photograph of now and then. So I set up the camera, got my favourite model and found our wedding album, set the timer and jumped into the photograph (just as well you cannot see the PJ bottoms). Did the edit in Lightroom and then finished in PSE10.

This week’s theme is Swimming, too cold for swimming, so I have taken a photograph from last Summer and added a quote by Tagore.

Bonnie gave us the challenge to feature light in our image. This is a photograph of tulips that I was using to practice some lighting features on to emphasise form, nature had a surprise for me with the light display in the background. I played with exposure, clarity, black levels in Lightroom and added “Golden Bokeh” to brighten up the RHS.

This week’s tutorial is to take an image and convert it to Pop Art. I have used a photograph of Henk and used three colour backgrounds. I initially desaturated the image, then cut and paste him into a transparent background, played with Adjustment levels, and Artistic/cutout filter, and applied colour to face, hair and clothes on separate layers, flattened image, selected and pasted into another layer and added a background layer.  I finished by applying Adjustment Levels/Hue and Saturation to get the other colours (the middle image is the original).

Bonnie gave us the challenge to use a fence or fences in our art work this week. I took this photograph in mid February on the way back from Stanthorpe, Queensland. I have used pdpa Drips of Degas at Blending Mode Hard Light 100% opacity, popped it in to Topaz Lab Black and White filter and used the Toned collection.

This week’s theme is Red White and Blue, as I have been house bound with a cold, I have used a photograph I took of a paper weight. Added a texture by Nancy Donaldson (2746280852) and added a quote by Cicero.

Bonnie is allowing us to post something that we like, well she gave us a new texture pdpa Mauve Threads, so I just had to play. I took two  photographs that I took on my river cruise, the first is inside the dinning room and the second is of antique dolls from a visit to an amazing memorabilia center (the frog bath was from there as well). I used Bonnie’s tips on painting and applied the new texture.

The second photograph was taken today while I was down town, it is an iron structure in which bougainvillea will be trained to grow up, this shot is looking up, I applied the texture Drips of Degas at hard light.

The structures.
