Sorrow and Rage
I purchased Art Rage awhile ago and never really did anything with it - one of my winter goals is to learn something about this product. So this image I started in Art Rage and then moved it to Photoshop Elements where I am way more comfortable.
Lots of spatter, drip brushes, over painting, etc.

Number 6 in my series of images called Outside/Inside using exterior and interior backgrounds and vintage extracts. I am reusing a lot of the elements in each image - I want to tie them together by subject, repeated objects and vintage coloring.
I really loved both the BG image of the broken window and the image of the two women and it was fun combining them. I did a little construction work on the image of the window and extended the house to make the whole image wider. Unfortunately I couldn’t add any chicken to this image. Gotta love Photoshop.

Quirky Collage 1
For Digitalmania Group www.flickr.com/groups/digitalmania/
The theme is QUIRKY COLLAGE. The idea is to build a collage from various, unrelated bits and pieces that together make a whimsical picture.
All bits and pieces from my collection.
I added the dog leash and the chicken to this image - I felt the chicken was needed for some interest on the left (and I like chickens) and the leash to tie the dog to the figure. The background in this image is 3 different parts from 3 different pics. The sky, middle trees and the brown grassy area - I then superimposed the tree branches over this and added birds. I could have added more but I think this is nice and balanced and tells the story so it doesn't need anything more ; )
I always try so hard to blend in my edges so my images look like a complete picture - this is the complete opposite - what fun. I think I may do a lot more of these.
