Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
This was a conceptual piece with a difference, mostly apart from the original image of the house, the rest is using resources from artist friends, backgrounds and such.

My CPV Photography group holds lots of workshops, I am sometimes the teacher, some times the student…this day I was the student.

I took some simple cosmos blooms, almost finish and I created these two lovely floral pieces, mostly hand painted over the top of the original photo. I adore getting to play with flowers like this with the Mixer Brush in Photoshop, along with a texture from my Paper Daisy Collection pack and some smoke brushes…

After being diagnosed with Shingles last week and spending every day since then in constant pain, I decided that I really need to do something more constructive with my time than Netflix Binge, as opposed to sulking in despair, a few days sure but then I gotta get real. Then, of course, I also heard…
