Tuscan Summer

This is a digital collage made for the Theme Thursday challenge. It is one of a series that I am making with Renaissance women and vintage mixed elements in different garden settings. "Collage" is the theme and this piece is made from antique botanical elements, old script, Dover and wikimedia images all blended, layered with artistic filters added in Photoshop.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again - Lori, this is stunning! You've created digital magic once again with this lovely woman. She's radiant! Very cool to learn that you've been using the fabric sheets. Your work would make a gorgeous fabric journal!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo

    Lori, this is just outstanding, one of your best!! Maybe I'm biased because I adore Botticelli, LOL! The colors, the composition, the artistic alterations, all just stunning!

    When I first saw this, I thought Renaissance Faire, something we have here every summer. Then I saw your description. I concur that she really is right out of a Renaissance painting. Awesome digital collage.
