Taking a Break

....from my faces.  Sometimes I feel like I've been doing this blog so long, my posts all look alike.  I'm stepping out of my comfort zone here and posting a photo that's a bit more abstract.....a little unusual for me.  As much as I adore flowers and nature,  I've been trying to look at shapes, angles, etc.  This shot was really different....I took it looking through the glass to a multi-level steel staircase structure.
Okay....now that I've posted something out of the ordinary for me, the next image is a still life which I "doctored" with Kim Klassen's "Abstract" texture and the
dry brush filter a couple times.  I think I may have also used the watercolor filter...can't remember.  
Now if you want to look at some faces, take a look at Ruth's newest blog "Tawny Moon Studio".  I do like her mixed media combinations.

  3. Both of your photos today are wonderful Marilyn. I love the first one, it does look abstract, and the colors are fantastic. Interesting reading.

    The bottom one is really artistic and something I would buy for my wall. Love how it turned out!
