Sister Solstice
What fun this was to make.
The layers I used to create this included:
CG textures and Plaster Old CG Textures.
The Plaster Old CG Texture was used as the primary jpg. I built Sister Solstice on top of it. I used CG Textures (snow and ice texture) in selective parts of the work.

Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Ted Byrne
You are increasingly entering into the world of ImageFiction in ways that we photographers were denied access to for so long. Now we can tell stories without worrying about whether we have to rigorously set it up in pre-processing, or stumble upon it in nature. I like it that you are such a story teller… or at least you are provoking my imagination to tell your stories to myself. SWEET!
Mary Ann Reilly replied
Thanks Ted. I have been a writer for much longer than I have been a photographer. Photography is a very new venture for me. I suspect the need for narrative shows in the work I compose. I do appreciate you noticing that so much:)
Sharon Morris
