I had fun doing this one. Started with a photo of a bare winter tree, and went from there. :D (signed with "Benni" as that is the name I use in my art group)

This was just a vase of yellow tulips -- had fun playing with it. :) (signed with "Benni" as that is the name I use in my art group)

I've dabbled again for the first time in a long time.  I loved the results so much that I decided to post it! :)

Yes, I am taking a break for a while. I've been posting here, weekly, for almost 3 years and I feel like I'm getting burnt out. My creative juices have stopped flowing, they're not even a puddle! I'll post again when I have a brilliant 'light bulb' moment (ok, a nightlight moment). I'll still be following your posts and keeping in touch. :) Later ya'll ........

This is a stock photo of a dust storm in west Texas in 1935 -- something we get quite often here.  I tried an HDR effect which gave it interesting coloring and added a Corners Picture Frame.

Played with an HDR effect -- I don't know why, but I think black and white looks better than color.

I'm not sure if I like the 'slats' effect here or not. It is an interesting effect but takes away from the full photo.

I started with just the background wall and floor, then added the other four elements. Then used several filters to get the finished result. :) My Hat!The hats of a man may be manyIn the course of a varied career,And some have been worth not a pennyAnd some have been devilish dear;But there's one hat I always rememberWhen sitting alone by the fire.In the depth of a Northern November,

I used several effects and some drawing to make the photo look like a needlepoint project. :)

This was just a photo of cherry blossoms on a white background. I used a swirl effect and built the frame to look like a wooden plaque.

I remember the black velvet painting craze in the 1970's. This is my digital version of one.

My Sis made a beautiful flower arrangement, in a pitcher and basin set, for our Mom's birthday. That gave me the idea to create this image.
