Crimson Flower

I had some fun blending and mixing floral imagery here for the Three Muses challenge "Flowers" this week. Main image from Vintage-blog along with botanical prints, script and digital painting filters in Photoshop. Digital blending allows for such great depth and gradation of color and the ability to reduce opacity allows images to merge and become one which I really enjoy doing.

    I love this color combination. I actually saw the same colors in a book describing how to combine colors. They should have had your digital collage to use as an example!

    Beautiful image. I haven't explored digital art at all and am impressed with those who do. BTW, we are nearly neighbors, I'm just across the Bay.
