Apologies to Andy (and My Wife)

My specialty is monochrome, but once in while I will stray to the more colorful side of the rainbow. This is one of those times.

I reached back to the pop art of Andy Warhol — and his Marilyn Monroe portrait in particular — for this fun portrait of my wife. The trick here was to try to recreate the look of a silk screen print, rather than just a posterized image. It took longer than I thought it would, but it was fun to do.

That period communicated the message of the image in an in-your-face display of color... those were great times. Your effort recreated that mood. When reality is conveyed as reality it blends with all the rest of reality. Add hot sauce by way of color impact and it is an attention grabber.

Your image conveys the message by exaggeration... my hat is off to you, PhotoMono123, and to AndyW.

Delightful creation! Your wife looks like an adventurous, charming lady.

Was this created all within Photoshop?

Thanks to all for your kind comments. It was a fun exercise.

@Linda-From-Maine — Yes, it was entirely in Photoshop with each color its own layer. But the real trick was prepping the original first. Once that was done to my satisfaction, I could choose any colors I wished.

Even before I read your description, I was thinking "Pop" Art. You nailed it.
