Just playin' while avoiding work

Done while I was trying to avoid getting started on a painting project ;)

SOOC:

And after playing a bit. SO not my style but it was fun doing it just the same:

Then I went way, way, WAY overboard and added some butterfly pics of mine. Obviously this technique needs some serious work!

And with some other Dahlias:

I'd love to play with this idea more and see what comes of it. As they are I am unimpressed, but I bet if I worked at it it might be something worth keeping.

Somebody asked what the background was for the picture I posted in my last entry. It's a 1 yard piece of fabric. It's an abstract batik pattern with a lot of different colors in it, and it just so happens that one area of it matched that flower almost perfectly!

  1. Lauren, the color combo on this is seriously wonderful!! I love the feel of the last play with the dahlias in the background; for some reason it makes me think of waterlilies.

  4. I agree, the flower against that blue is DIVINE! And I do love your plays- they take it to a whole 'nother level of artisticness! (is that even a word? LOL)

  8. Ooh, I'd give my right arm to get any SOOC shot like yours. (Not really, cuz then I couldn't shoot right LOL.) I definitely think you're on to something with your plays, especially that last one. Can't wait to see what else you come up with, although I love your original style so much.
