I am absolutely not talking about where July went!
But, as it is the first Friday in the month (of August!) it is time to open the doors to Bonnie’s fabulous digital Art Gallery.
Our optional prompt is Flower Art.
We had the most ferocious rain storm on Monday this week, you couldn’t see out of the back door let alone go out in it so I played for a couple of hours and watched it through the window.
Here are some pieces that I worked using Bonnie’s Art Textures.
This is the second show of my Clematis Daniel Deronda. It has a much darker flower with pretty red tips on the petals this time around.
I bought some miniature gladioli at the weekend. They are called Glamini and are yellow and red in colour and the prettiest little things. This was not what I had in mind for them but I just love this happy accident.
Tall and slender blue Iris with a painterly look before adding Bonnie’s texture. the pop of red is some red glass.
My birthday (February) Orchid. I am amazed at how tough this beautiful flower is. This is it’s second flowering, in my care!
I bought some pretty pale blue Scabious and have had lots of practice with my macro lens.
This is the centre of the Scabious. It reminds me of coral so I put a watery texture on it.
and a look at the rain
Thank you for looking at my flowery art. I am off to the gallery to see what beauties are hanging there this week.
Your clematis is stunning. I’ve never seen one with red tips like that!
I think the scabious might be my favourite..such a pretty shade of blue. The textures bring out interesting bits of each plant that I might not otherwise have noticed
More gorgeous work, Miriam! We’ve tried repeatedly to grow clematis but haven’t had any luck with them. I’m very envious of your beautiful specimen.
Wow, Miriam – so many talented, different and beautiful edits on those lovely flowers! Love them all, but there is something about the second last blue that captures my heart.
oh my goodness Miriam!! I love these. the colours in the first are enchanting. you certainly are a creative genius!! BEautimosity Extraordinaire!!
I, too, am drawn to the scabious . . .so soft and dreamy. Thanks for stopping by and viewing my submission.
Wow these are all wonderful. I really liked them all but my 2 favorites were the Blue Iris and the Scabious.
These pictures are very artistic
Nice pictures. I like the middle one best.
This was a bit wrong. Excuse me.
You are much like me … once you get started it takes you to many different places … yours are all lovely, each in it’s own way. I also enjoyed the walk in the rain. I can remember as a kid loving to get soaked and running through a rain storm. Now I need an umbrella or I just stay in … boring. I should go out and get wet 🙂 Thanks Miriam, I enjoyed the ride …

Gorgeous flower art – I love the cracked texture you get in so many of them.

What a wonderful collection for PAF! Your clematis is beautiful, and I love the texture you used on it. Makes it look like a painting!
Loving the iris and the scabious too – your textures are superb. i really must get a grip on this …
