    Gorgeous!
    Although I'm having a hard time looking at the green, I was out weed eating weeds most of the day...ugh!
    I LOVE the butterflies!

      Glad you like! I stuck it on cafepress as a card. I'm not so sure it would be a good t-shirt, though I added a couple...

    I *love* this picture! I'm burning it into my retinas so I won't see the ten tons of snow outside.

      Glad you like!! And I'm right there with you on the snow. *sigh*
      On the other hand, better a nice cover of snow than raw and rain and 20 degrees.
      And at least it's not fooling the fruit trees into jumping the gun, for a change...

    Beautiful! The robins in my neighborhood were wearing their parkas and little boots this weekend (we got the midwest snow - altho' not as bad as some places.) I am so ready for Spring!

      I so hear ya. We've had everything from 60 degrees and sun to 20 and snow in the last three days... must be March! The poor birds!

    Oh, I really love this one! It's so beautiful. I love the way the colors blend. There's so much in the picture that I feel like I can't see it all but I sense it right there beneath the surface. Thanks for sharing. You're so talented.

      Thanks-- there actually is a lot in there, and you're right-- it's all layered with some peeking through and some not. I used a bunch of photos Dan and I took last summer... I am so ready for that weather to return!

      Thanks! I'm always in awe when the summer green really kicks in-- seems like someone set the saturation to high! I'm ready for some of that...

    Absolutely gorgeous!!

    I may have to have a print of this.

    Wow. WHERE DID YOU GET THIS TALENT?!?!?!?!

      Thanks, Mary Beth! Glad you enjoy it!I had fun with this one. I really needed some color in my life this week-- it was a good topic! And I'm having fun collaging photos-- that's something I just started doing this winter, for some reason.
      Cafepress has this on mugs and tshirts and whatnot-- if you want it on an actual print to hang on your wall, let me know!

    Whoa!

    Those butterflies look so real! Especially that giant monarch on the left.

    This is my new favorite!

    This is really pretty. Did you do this in Photoshop? And what else?

      Glad you liked it! I actually started this one in artrage using the paintbrush tool, then moved it over to photoshop and started layering. I collaged in a bunch of photos of our woods and gardens, and various creatures... then painted and shaded and merged and added layers, and painted, and rearranged....
      I love photoshop!
      :D

    Stunning Liz, the mushroom funghi in the corner is perfect!

      Thanks, Val! We did a mushroom walk one week, and found so many amazing varieties. This was from a log all covered in vivid shelves, and it's one of my favorites!
