Bouquet for Mother's Day (Posterized Photo)
On Friday, my daughter gave me this beautiful bouquet for Mother's Day, and I have been enjoying it all weekend. I love the combination of flowers: lilacs, roses, hydrangea, peonies, and more. When I got it home, I liked the way it looked on my table, so I took pictures. Tonight, I cropped one of the photos, then opened it in Painter IX and posterized it twice to get the effect I wanted.
Bouquets
Another shot (or should I say shots) from Jeannine and Kevin's wedding. I thought the bouquets were absolutely gorgeous. The bridesmaids carried bouquets of hydrangeas (one of my favs!) and the bride had white roses and peonies, which smelled out of this world amazing!
PS. I highly recommend viewing it bigger so they aren't so tiny :-)
