Photo Art Friday

As always a fun prompt.  I keep wondering when I will run out of ideas ... but, I am not going to worry about it until it happens.  I do have enough pictures to play with for many years :)  Thanks Bonnie, I learned some new techniques by following your sample in the  Photo Art Resource Cache.  Everyone who can, should join ... it is well worth it!  

    Pdpa Dropped Petals, Butterfly on plant (filter, color pencil), Pdpa Leafy Landscape, Mask/brush, filter-photo.  

 Pdpa Dropped Petals, Owl picture (filter, pencil drawing, select, Image extract, Pdpa Old Weave texture, pint eyes and beak), Public domain    picture Great Horned Owls in branch, select, image extract, mask/brush.  

Pdpa Dropped Petals, Maroon Bells Mountains, soft light blend, mask/brush; Cowboy, select, extract, mask/brush;  aspen, select, extract, mask/brush;  Text with soft shadow.   This one fails the "abstract" test.  Don't know what it is doing in here, but hey ... I used the Pdpa Dropped Petals, that should count for something, right?  

Pdpa Dropped Petals, winter scene, soft light blend, mask brush, clone stamp;  Izzi with Frisbee , sloft light blend, sask/brush; snow overlay, mask/brush;  Text with soft shadow; Filter smudge stick   We are experiencing "Winter Wonderland" now as another expected 6 inches of snow is falling ... on top of whatever we already had.  If it looks like Izzi is loving the snow ... she is.   Actually, I do too, so we have a great time outside until we get cold ... then it is time for hot chocolate:)  Happy Winter ... (spring is not too far off:)
