More Amaryllis stuff

I went through some of my photos of the Amaryllis, and thought why not try more different stuff, You may or may not like what I have created but that’s ok, I am experimenting. It is a lot of fun to try different things. It also let’s me learn what works and what doesn’t . Here are some photos.

  4. Hi Kerri, these are all done in Adobe photoshop CS3. I have used several layers, and used a watercolor brush. The rest you will have to figure out on your own. It is actually a very simple process.

  5. Loved them especially the background on the one at the top,and the one below looks so fresh. A good job Horst.
    I do wish I had time to do things like this, but i've just finished a painting commission, and that takes up most of my free time.

  6. I do hope you are getting paid for your paintings. It is a lot of work to do those paintings, and I'm sure that takes up alot of your time. Keep up the good work.

  12. Hi Dianne, we haven't got such nice weather as you have, yet, but it is warming up here. We have a whole lot of snow that has to melt before it will really be nice here. I saw a flock of geese a couple of days ago, and hope they do fine, also hope they find food.

  13. Horst they are georgeous. Works or art that should be display in a gallery and on someones wall. You should enter these in a gallery. Wonderful artistic work.
    At the UofA Hospital they have photos that people put up and on display and also that the Muttart. Maybe even the Devoian gardens. Worth a shot and you Im sure would sell these.
    Outstanding work.
