“Oh to dip my toes
In such an inviting stream
would feel like heaven…
… descends an angel
surrounded by rays of light
bathing me in peace.”
This is for Haiku my heArt Friday, hosted by the amazing Rebecca at Recuerda mi corazon. See more haikus and photos over there…
Image and fabulous tutorial courtesy of Photoshop star… which I followed as best I could to create the mystical scene in the second image. I am hugely enjoying the learning process in Photoshop, indeed “dipping my toes” figuratively into the infinite possibilities offered by the world of digital art. It’s just amazing… and there are so many talented and generous artists who share of their knowledge and expertise freely.
Textures from Shadowhouse Creations and Kim Klassen – thank you. 🙂

/ October 21, 2011I love that first shot a lot! Your words are ‘seen’ in the photo, literally and figuratively. I want to dip my toes, and I can see the angel image in the photo and in my mind. Love it!
