Quotography--Open Theme.

I took some nice photos of these Dawn Redwood trees a few weeks ago at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston (Redwoods in Boston, who knew!), just as they were beginning to get that green haze that comes right before the buds burst out.
I remember thinking about this quote while I was making the photographs.

I created a threshold layer from the original and set the blend mode to multiply, then added a texture from Nancy Claeys from A Rural Journal, set to color burn.

Mandarin Orange Monday--Coffee shop

Part of the entrance to a coffee shop in Fells Point, Baltimore. Duplicated the layer, set to soft light, texturized the top layer and posterized the copy od the original photo.

Photo found on Google, painted with watercolor technique and overlaid onto Jerry ffom Shadowhouse's new creations, Splatter Masks.

SPA--Mail Art

A little envelope I made with digital (and real) stamps and a duck from Beth Rimmer.

Quotography--Faith

Thisis straight out of the camera--a portion of a worn, graffiti covered door in Fell's Point, Baltimore,  I don't recognize this woman, but she looks to me as if she could move mountains...
