Grasses

[Jackie Schuknecht]

This is a picture made from three different shots of grasses at the beach. I turned it sideways and blended the layers using different blending modes at various opacities. I tried to get a calming, painterly feel to the image.
Comments appreciated.
Thanks

I like compositional balance and the pale earth tones...well done...:cool:

Jackie, The colors are unique-I think it would work well rotated 90 degrees right also! Good eye . Interesting comp! I LIKE IT VERY MUCH!!!

Jackie, most unusal composition, colors and effect here, though I'm not sure the framing does it justice. Well seen and done!

[Julie Kenward]

This is actually one of the rare times I do like the framing - I think because it adds to the color pallette so nicely. Beautiful abstract, Jackie...very unique and creative!

Any idea which blending modes you used to get this final result?

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Julie, I seem to have flattened the image but I think it was difference, and exclusion. Can't remember the percentages, just go by feel, til I got the colours I liked.

Hi Jackie,
I really love the soft colours in this - I think that perhaps I would go for a frame that was half the thickness.
A really gorgeous abstract!
Regards,
Nicki

I love the color scheme, Jackie and the leading lines. Try to give it a quarter turn so the lines are vertical, it may be stronger.

I'd like this one on my wall!

Thanks John, I would too and I think I am going to make a nice large print of it!!! I thought of turning it but to me the horizontal lines were more calming.
