Architecture


Architecture is the theme from the Three Muses this week. My piece started out as two black and white images from Dover.

Initially, I added various layers and filters to obtain the colours in the background. Then I coloured the picture of the lady & gent and added it to the foreground.

I love the intricacy of the background, Jackie, and the touch of beautiful color in the woman's dress is perfection. Good work!

Jackie, this is exquisite and so, so elegant. It's one of those pictures that makes the viewer sit back and say "Ah...........". I love it a lot. Wonderful artwork and a superb design.
