Like frogs?
When i was a youngin, my mum, Suzie, drove us around everywhere in a little bright green gemini, named aptly ‘Suzie’s Tree frog”
Her tenpin bowling league team name was ‘The tree frogs’
and she adores frog sculptures, bric a brac…anything frog related!
I grew up surrounded by cute lil froggies everywhere lol..
even had some pet ones for awhile, but they didnt get along too well with our tortoise :)
My mum, Suzie, She was very inspirational in the making of this piece.
Plus also, Kristina (my aunt) has mentioned that she likes frogs, and the colour purple, which also influenced this piece, as I wanted it to be something Kristina would like, and compliment her gorgeous photograph misty sunset
created in ps
frog photos sourced from public domain
background photo coutesy of kristina
misty sunset
colour overlays, burning, dodging, layering, etc.
thankyou for taking the time to view my art and (hopefully) comment…
please have a look at my other artwork…
hope you enjoy! :)

Oh this is awesome! How did you do this?
dimarie replied
Thankyou Kelly!
I appreciate your commenting! :)
I did this in photoshop.
it has colour overlays, burning, dodging, layering
sorry, I’m really bad at explaining how because I dont really think about it I just do it. :) i use the burn and dodge tools like a pencil and eraser of sorts, shaders.. this piece had about 10 layers when i finished it. :)
dimarie replied
well i went thru the process again in my head lol, and sent you a bm with a more detailed description of how to do this :)
hope it helps! :) :) :)

I’m taking a crash course in how to use Photoshop but I don’t think I ‘ll ever be this good! Hope the French members of Redbubble don’t find this offensive ;)
dimarie replied
But it is surely la creme de la creme?
cest la vie, what can one do… lol!
cannot make them all happy!
I’ve never taken a course or tutorial in photoshop, I much prefer to work it all out myself! :)
(you can tell mastery of the french language is not my strong point lol)
Harri
Another great collaboration between you two. Excellent. I was going to ask “Where’s your head at?” But I read the bumph, and now I know!! Excellent. Well done. :)
dimarie replied
Thanx Harri!
I love your name! My nick name many many years back was Harri!
Wheres my head at?
Now you have that song stuck in my head! lol!
Question is Harri, wheres my head gonna be at tomorro?! :)
Glad you like my froggies!
Thanx heaps for your comments!
Always appreciated! :) :) :)
Harri
Got my name way back in the good ol’ bad ol’ days when I was just 16. My friend in college said I wasn’t a Helen, ‘cos Helen’s were lady like prim and proper, and I wasn’t (and am proud to say, still am not!!) LOL. It just stuck. IHarri is the rebel side of me. I like her, she’s fun, creative and completely lost her mind!!
dimarie replied
Cool! you sound like the trippiest chick! we should get together one day and have a drink! :)
I got the name Harri because of my incredible lack of height lol! so somehow they all started calling me “Harri the walking BJ” and NO, it wasnt based on fact lol, just my height!
SMorrisonArt
Love the colors.
dimarie replied
Thankyou so much!
I always love getting comments from you!
Harri
Your on for that drink mate. :) Next time your passin’ drop by! :) My Mum says the best things come in little packages. But she would say that, she’s not even 5 foot!! LOL
dimarie
Well, looks like me n my lil crazy family mite just have to come over to th UK and visit you all!
One day! when the cash flo is kinder to me! lol!
The governments should fund an artists annual get together from different countires instead of paying millions for artworks they dont even let the public see!...imagine that!
But, yes, if I come over to the UK, you’re on my list of fun people to meet and party with!
And if you come to Oz! make sure you look me up! :)

Carlos Solorza
wow. i found that i had to scroll back to the top of the page to see what i was commenting on. i was reading through the comments and was taken by the thought of what a genuinely pleasant person you are…and so talented!
anyways, the colors of this work caught my attention and upon looking more closely, i have come to the conclusion that if i could float around in a bubble, i would be a frog. lol. fantastic work Jodi!
dimarie replied
lol…Carlos, ur too kind! :)
I appreciate it alot tho! :)
So, you’d be a froggy in a bubble hey? without goin hoppin mad….
sorry, bad humour lol…couldnt help it!
:) :) :)
Carlos Solorza
hmmm, hadn’t thought about that. perhaps a bubble with a zipper so that i could get out on occasion to, mmmm, to catch a few flies and such. hahahaha
georgiegirl
you wouldn’t go hopping mad if the bubbles were as lovely as our RB bubbles!! I love my card ;D Luckily the person who’s birthday it is for isn’t till next May so I get to keep it for a bit!!
colorblind
