Lioness

It's in the genes somewhere, at least with Diva the Devil Child.  So many times I have looked at her and saw a tiny lioness.  She never ceases to amaze me ...

Weelemd Reflection

A reflection of another kind ... They say cats are color blind, but Diva was clearly aware of this reflection.

Once again, The Eyes Have It ...

I have been asked to show what I do to arrive at my pictures so for awhile I will add a description at the end of each post just to give an idea.  It is hard to keep up the flow of the work when I am stopping to write, so there may be times that I miss a step or put things in the wrong order.  The idea is to just get a feel of the things you can do with a photo that will make it artistic and yours :)  Enjoy

Starting with the first picture , I cropped, then filter Adjustment/ posterize.   I cropped again to get the eye and used filter sketch/comic then Enhance/color adjust. Used filter Distort/extrude. 

Bring in the second picture, Artistic filter/ Cut Out.  Add extruded eye to each side using flip horizontal under Image/Rotate.  Filter Texture Craquelure @ 74%  Add pdpa texture Sky Love @ 82%, change to orange with Enhance/color adjust. Used Mask/brush  @ 4% oppacity to bring out some detail.  Crop and use Artistic Filters until I get what I want. There is much more that could be done.  I could use blending filters or even go to editors on line and use what they have to change or enhance.  But that can be for another day.

Mandarin Orange Monday

It must be time to do another Orange Diva series.  I took this picture recently while she was sitting on the soffit over our cabinets.  The light made it and her more orange then I added orange to get the white wall to blend in.

after that I zoomed in on Diva and started messing with the filters to get several different effects ...

In this one I used the clone stamp  ....

added and orangified background ...

then added it to an old Diva piece I had done in the past ...

Using Polar Cordinates I arrived at this effect ...

and here I used Shear ...

This is my hidden picture version ... there are 6 Diva faces.  Can you find them?

Happy MOM:)

I am starting with my perfectly orange cat ... Diva 

 

I put her on a background made up of orange, a pdpa texture and a PS texture 

 

And then I start to play with filters ...

 

 

I added another PDPA texture to this one ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

From bold and extreme to soft and subtle ... all in the name of MOM :)

 

Have a wonderful week!
