The Three Muses - Artist of Choice

         
Please enlarge!




During my daily dog-walking sessions I often take photos which I hope will be useful for future challenges and as I live in a rural area there is an abundance of interesting trees, shrubs, water features and gardens which put mine to shame!  My artist is 'Monet' and except for the Japanese bridge, waterlilies and Monet himself, the background is the result of layering and blending my own photos.

    Judy, your impressionist garden is magnificent. I hate to think of the time you must have put into it - all worthwhile of course because the result is stunning. Fantastic artwork as always.

    Judy, isn't it a lovely feeling when you can use your own photos AND a bonus when you are able to recreate such a beautiful impressionist painting as you have here. Absolutely magnificent my friend.
