Bloom
Click for larger size.
I started this image in Painter IX by cloning a flower gif I already had and using the tracing paper option. I wanted to experiment with repetition and pattern.
I colored it in using a sable watercolor brush. Then I duplicated the flower and arranged them in a 3x3 grid, leaving the center open for just the word Bloom. I did simple gradient circles and squares behind each flower. They looked very harsh, so I used Effects/Focus/Soften and I liked the result. It was starting to look like a tic-tac-toe grid, so I experimented with the Image Hose option to fill in the lines. I cycled through my fonts till I found one I liked.
It's been very cold for the end of March in the Midwest. So Bloom already, will you?????
