Making of an Abstract

[Paul Lagasi]

I did a lot of reading on abstract's these last few days...lots of trial and error went into this abstract..

I started with the image found here:

Ended with the image below....Just try anything until its pleasing to your eye...

Paul, Looks great. It looks like the liquid tool was used. I wish it were a larger image so we could appreciate more of the details. I might lighten the image a bit. Very nicely done. What a transformation!!

[Mark Fuge]

Nice image and application, Paul.

Agree with Denise on sizing of the image.

[Dave Phillips]

nice work Paul.....now that you have a concept for the pp, please do
try a larger version of something. I see the blur and pixelation can
get to be a problem.....but work big and reduce.

this might be a winner

[Julie Kenward]

Amazing image, Paul. The colors, patterns, and framing all work wonderfully. This is definitely a labor of love.

[Paul Lagasi]

Thanks All ... I definately wish image had been larger but I started with 200 kb image of re-create leaves...

[Paul Lagasi]

Thank You Harshad...appreciate it

[Mark Fuge]

Like it Paul.

One thing I noticed was that the scrolls, at the corners of the interior box, on the top and bottom (running on the ends of the straight line) is not centered to the box. Don't know if that is adjustable, but other than that, looks good!

[Paul Lagasi]

Thanks Mark...good eyes..lolol..centered

[Mark Fuge]

Thanks Mark...good eyes..lolol..centered

It's a lot easier to see your mistakes than mine, Paul. Everyone else catches mine!!! :eek: ;) :D

[Patti Edens]

I love the original and the repost even more. This is, as you say, very pleasing to my eye.

....Just try anything until its pleasing to your eye...

But, Paul, that is easier said than done! Inspired by your swirls and colors and beautiful pattern, I tried this. Never did get anything that was pleasing to my eye. But, I'll keep trying...something about pigs and acorns comes to mind. :D

[Cheryl Slechta]

Paul, the repost is gorgeous! It looks like a beautiful Persian silk wall hanging.:)

[Paul Lagasi]
