Photo Art Friday--Autumn in the Graveyard


I used several layers of Bonnie's texture, Leafy Landscape, with different filters and blending modes applied to each.  The photo is of a very old burying ground in West Roxbury, where I live.  The final steps were to use some text brushes on the gravestones and some grunge brushes, both with color and as erasers to add some more overall texture.  I love how the overhanging foliage looks kind of ghostly.

  1. The overhang looks quite menacing and the whole piece is nicely atmospheric. Love it!

  10. I particularly like what you did with the grass - so many variations of green and textures. I also like the way you introduced orange into the foliage:)
