Easter card

[Kerry Perkins]

Yes, I'm painting again. This is an image I made last weekend at this little girl's Easter photo shoot. Mixer brushes used to paint away detail (the hardest part of painting photographs is letting go of detail!), then a couple of textures and Nik CEP effects (blur vignette, vignette, glamour glow).

P.S. - I know the orange egg is prominent. I consider it to be an "exclamation point" and forms a triangle with Dylan's face and the basket.

Kerry, this may be my favorite one so far In addition to the subject matter, I think the lighting is magical.

[Hazel Grant]

Yes, magical. re the orage egg...she has one in hand and one in basket, and they balance each other IMO. Beautiful

Kerry, A wonderful image and I like the pose. Colors are terrific. Nicely done...Terry Johnson

Gorgeous. Luminous. Glowing. Love it! Beautiful and excellent work. I like the lighting, with the girl surrounded by darker areas. I might tone down the orange just a tad. Great work.
Wouldn't this fit the theme since it includes saturated images?

[Randall Farhy]

Kerry-another home run image. I really like how the processing makes the little girl seem as though she's been softly spotlighted. Magical, angelic-gorgeous. The saturated elements are perfect for the scene, emphasizing the highlighted area. Agree, this would be a strong theme contender!

Thanks everyone! I could add the word "theme" to the title, but I'm not eligible for the contest.

Too bad you aren't eligible.
