Angela, I am so pleased you do! I know they're different but that's one reason I posted them. I had such a good time doing these. Thank you for your encouragement, my friend!

This is similar to the faux double exposure I made with my daughter's face and a tree.... always fun to create something new!!

I had not seen that image when you posted it,Angela, so just flipped back to find it. That is a wonderful image! And yes, very similar to what I am doing. I have one of my daughter in a tree of magnolia blossoms that came out pretty cool. Like you, I tried a few tutorials but had to find my own way as most used different programs than I have. A UHH member , Jim Pops turned me on to "ink smears in portraiture" that provoked my interest.

Carla, did you post the one of your daughter and the magnolia blossoms??? I lucked out with that picture of my daughter... I don't have many people images that will work, but this one was fun to fudge my way through to get that effect. On my next attempt, I used a free stock image of a cute guy... that one came out pretty good!! I did watch the video Jim shared, but it went over my head, too many steps, too confusing... I downloaded the free images of ink smears, so maybe one day I'll try again.

May or may not have been your intention, but you're now qualified for an associate membership in the Ministry of Mayhem, where desecration, defacement, and vandalism are specialties of the house!
If you'll contact the Martian, I'm sure he'll be happy to issue you your I.D. card, along with a bill for your annual dues.
Nice work, Carla!

I see death in these pieces. #3 speaks of suicide to me. No judgement, just my reaction.

Carlysue- The portraits are quite interesting in themselves and I like them very much. Adding splashes of color, to me, visually demonstrates a psychological disassociation- that is, the colors (which I perceive to be emotion) are on a flat plane while the facial images are spherical. The disassociation fails where, at a single point, plane and sphere meet and the plane displays the emotion within the sphere.... ..geeze... i need a nap... Thanks for provoking thought Carlysue - and your excellent contribution to the forum!

Fantastic Artistry Carla! NEVER apologize for being creative! They'll never understand that this is where the real fun begins!
