I Wish You Purple In The Spring by

My favorite color all year round but in the Spring, I love to see purple flowers. I have lots of bulbs, all in different shades of Purple. However when I started with this image, the flower was Peach and it was on a drab grey background. I felt that I could make some improvements. The image was converted to Black and White. I hand painted the Iris a delicate purple color with yellow centers. I then applied one of my own textures the purple and aqua stripe and erased the texture from the Iris. I then applied an Aqua texture by French Kiss and allowed it to remain on the Iris. That’s the story on this on this Spring flower that I created because I have Spring Fever and I just gotta have some Purple Flowers!

    And just when I thought spring was on its way, it is snowing this morning! This is so lovely and refreshing with so much hope for the near change of seasons! Thanks for sharing this Dee!

  • Hi Pamela, we only got one snow this year and it barely covered the ground, so I didn’t get any winter images to speak of. However, I’ve gotten over it and am moving on to Spring where there is always something new poking out of the ground. Thanks for the great comment and fav! Dee
