Demented Difference

[Judy Howle]

Any guesses on what the base image is? I put another wild texture under it and changed the blend mode to difference and it was also over the same base image, like a texture sandwich. I fiddled with blend modes so much on all 3 layers my head is spinning!

Beautiful abstract image, Judy. All the blend modes have created the effect of a watercolor painting. The base image looks like a flower to me...perhaps a tulip with open, spreading petals. I love the combination of colors (particularly the variation on green) and textures (particularly the "bubbles"). Can you share which textures you used...would love to check them out.

Hi Judy- I don't think I've seen difference mode used so strongly with such an impact, very nice.The image is well balanced, and that line under the flower acts as an underscore, almost like a signature. The colors and tones (and there are a lot) work well together. Guess would be a Dogwood bloom. Another artistic use of layers, you really seem to be enjoying those new textures!

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Wendy! I used inked texture 7 and Heirloom texture 25. I may have inverted 25, not sure. All from 2 Lil Owls sets I bought. I bought the previous set also. The flower is a lotus blossom that I had converted to black and white.

Thanks Randall. Yes the filters are very nice and it's fun to use something different for a change. The flower is a lotus blossom that I had converted to black and white.

I had guessed waterlily.
You created marvelous effects with your textures. Gorgeous colors and textures. that line going through in the lower part is unusual and most effective.

[Dennis Bishop]

With those diagonals, colors, and texture, you've put together a great abstract. The color variations are incredible.

[Diane Miller]

I think it's a turtle with wings (folded) and lotus tail feathers. And a couple of babies riding on its back. (Been looking at Avian too much...) Awesome!! I seriously love the textures and colors!

[Cheryl Slechta]

Great abstract, Judy. Gorgeous colors and textures - it looks like it could be a watercolor or a batik. Either way, I really like it

Congratulations on winning and on your creativity.

Thanks everyone! Sorry I wasn't around much in the past week.
