"Good Fortune"
Photo shopped image
This month's topic for the Girls Just Wanna Paint challenge is 'treasured object' and this is one of my most cherished ones.
I tried painting it, I really did, but it just didn't have the pizzazz it needed. In desperation I played with it in PhotoShop where it couldn't help but gain some dramatic effects. Placing it upon a patterned fabric swatch creates a great design and I like the way the four images meet.
Meanwhile, I'm still going out to the 'jungle' to paint twice a week and have a plethora of studies of lily pads, palm trees and green stuff !
