Just a little experimenting with textures.This is a photo of some of the African Violets in my home. I added the background and framing to make it look like a painting. Please let me know what you think. All views and comments are welcome.

I like it Eileen! Looks great..the texture looks neat in it & the colors are very vivid. It has a soft feel to it. Like Bob said..a tapestry type look. Nicely done my friend! C):-) *

Friends are like shining stars. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there for you.
That's very pretty and well framed. Nicely done.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

These flowers are so soft and delicate and feel so smooth and silky. The look of this image is a canvas look and I love the framing but I would rather see then in a softer portrayal.

Well, there you have it. The tally is in and everyone votes you did a tremendous job and the effect is perfect. I think it would look great on the wall and the purple frame was an excellent choice!

CITIZENS of our world, check my website for a riveting, informational video that concerns all of you and the future of our globe. You will be flabbergasted, annoyed, distressed, in disbelief, but you will have been made aware of the WARNINGS. See this film. It gets better as it goes along, but will have your attention from the first quote.
African Violets are my favorite flowers and I tried my hand at hybridizing them over25 years ago and I've always wanted to start it again but alas there is just never enough time.
As for your image Jen: It brought back all of those emotions and that is a good thing. This is very beautifully done. I'm reserving this for a later desktop. Thanks for the memories.

Superb! I'll buy a card like that immediately - most of the Greeting cards are so poor these days! You did a brilliant job on fading and texture, Eileen, thank you for sharing such a gem!

You are really getting good at the manipping stuff! I really like this, if I didn't know differently, I'd think it was a painting.
