Bonnie at Pixel Dust Photo Art is very generous about giving away her fabulous textures. This week she asked us to create some digital art to hang in our virtual gallery using her latest free texture called Leafy Landscape
This is what I came up with.
It is two close shots of the same beautiful pink lily.
Last week my son and his girlfriend bought me flowers. She apparently took ‘forever’ to choose, she wanted something autumnal and eventually came home with a lovely bouquet of red and yellow roses, orange chrysanthemums, red cotinus and a lovely green feathery grass.
He, in the meantime, got fed up with the choosing process and picked up a bunch of very tightly closed lilies for a pound. He didn’t think they would come out but thought they looked like something I might photograph. Bargain! he said.
Both boquets have had many pictures taken of them this week. The lilies are absolutely fabulous, they opened over a couple of days to show a profusion of very delicate pink flowers and perfume to die for.
I can’t wait to see how others have used Bonnie’s new texture over here this week
I’m loving your lily and the textural treatment! It’s delicate and rather ethereal.
isn’t it great to be spoiled with flowers once in a while~!?
this is a pretty image and i like the soft but rich colors as well as the added textures.
lovely work.

Your description of the flower buying is priceless Miriam! Gorgeous results though 🙂
beautiful
It’s really lovely – could be hanging in a ‘real’ gallery! 🙂
nice work. 🙂
When you turned the texture upside down you gave the composition of lovely flower and texture a whole new look and I really like it. Valerie
I love fresh flowers, and like you, take many photos of them. This is lovely. After two very busy days, I’ve finally caught up with your blog. I love the cairn you created!
This looks nice!
How lovely that she took her time choosing exactly the right bunch for you!
Lovely piece. It shows off the lily wonderfully. – How nice to receive not one but two bouquets.
that’s so very nice of them!
love your picture!
beautiful rendering, your use of the texture Leafy Landscape is fantastic ….
How wonderful to receive flowers from both your son and his girlfriend! The image you created is lovely.
I really like your lily photograph; the added textural layer brings a lot of depth! Very delicate! Have a wonderful weekend, Andy
SO pretty. Isn’t it a delight to receive a bouquet – especially when one is into photography?!!
what gorgeous work and how grateful I am to have been persistent and even finding a work-around to get to your site, Miriam. what has been going so easily for weeks Now was slow and pokey and frustrating. seems only fitting for the sort of time I’ve been having of it the past several days.
I am almost inspired to go out and get myself some flowers!!! could really DO to perk me up and out of this wee funk!!
Miriam, this is magnificent!
It looks like a beautiful painting.
Beautiful image and I love the effect of the texture.
