Because I am already here, I can also leave immediately a comment.
This is still ever one of my absolute favorites. I simply love everything in it,
the colours are wonderful and the texture also.

It really looks like autumn leaves! At first glance I thought it was a photo...
You captured the feel and look beautifully!
I don't like the center piece too much, but it gives great balance to those lustfull, rich orange leaves...
This is an interesting piece. It looks somewhat like a photo, another times like a watercolor, sometimes just clean digital image...

Thank you so much!
I have another version where the center has an orange hue, but I just chose to post this one.

Maybe it's better this way. The contrast makes you really look!

Great approach to the "butterfly" theme! The partial transparancy works well; did you do that with a mask or the "grey" tone?

It's a masked layer using a subtraction merge mode. Take a layer of colors, duplicate that layer with the same colors, mask parts of it, set it to subtraction and you can get some nice effects...

Strange you should do that and I should do that at the same time! Well mine didn't have masking, just color removal, but the 2 layer thing we did at the same time. Had finally gotten something usable in Talis and Friends, not contest level, but nice.

Mine were so horrible, I didn't even think to scrap them. Out they went! Too much noise in the formula if your not careful. The go from "gee another spiral" to comets of the gradient's colors. I have so far gotten 1 I'm not ashamed of and God knows how many others that gave me a headache!

Thank you. I was working on my textures, and there are a lot of different textures in this piece, but I tried to align them so that one texture leads into another.
And I do prints on my pieces...16x20's...show and sell them locally. I have a print account here but haven't used it yet.

You know...I was just thinking of you. (Saw a frac on the main frac page and thought, "That looks like Denise's work."
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the nice comment.
