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.

Oh this is awesome! How did you do this?
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. :)

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 ;)
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)
