For this week's Photo Art Friday challenge, Bonnie gave us three choices....something green for St Patricks Day, something with a hidden element in plain sight or any piece of photo art. That gave us great leeway.
I had this piece of artwork....actually a page from my journal. Sorry the image is not very good.... I played with the wave filter randomized on squares and then used Bonnie's "statement frames" texture since it had squares in it. Then I added some text which is next to impossible to see and finally used Topaz Adjust on it and then a frame from Photo Essentials 4. Doesn't look very St. Patricks but it's green.
This is my workflow
The finished image looked like this
After I did this, I decided I could make it into a shamrock shape so it would be more in keeping.
Happy St. Pat's Day everyone!
But wait......I also edited one of my sketches of two women. I used a wonderful texture from DJ Pettitt and two of Bonnie's textures - "chunks of vivid light" and "old ornate linen" on this.
I like the way this turned out. The original sketch is below.
Go here to see other artists's entries and do have a fun art-filled week!

What lovely effects! I love your shamrock, and your art work is beautiful!
Marilyn - you always come up with such fun stuff. This is great. Were these the faces with Sharon? I absolutely adore them - great job. Always... hugs from Alaska. Karen
These are both really great. I've got to say thought that photo of the ladies is quite captivating.
Excellent and exquisite compositions, I love these delicious colors and textures, pure creativity. Greetings.
I love how you cut it out to look like a shamrock...great editing and very creative. The one of the two women is definitely one you could hang as a fabulous piece of art.
Thanks for your comment on my blog.
