Torn....

This is my grand-daughter Angelica…Same processing as The Free Thinker edited in “Gaïa…The living planet book”
I was amazed by the result,I thought it realy looked like an ancient painting.
A long time ago , they use to capture a moment in paintings.When I did that layer I had the impression to had captured the beautiful face of my Angelica forever.C.C Arshagra wrote a poem for me that realy represent that image,when I read it,I cried like a baby.I was realy touched.
I did another image later with the same processing called The free thinker




Torn.... belongs to the following groups:
