I’ve been having so much fun making and playing with custom brushes in Photoshop.

The green, red and white image started with a photo I took of a Canna Lily blossom at my folks place last summer. After many layers of brushes and adjustments I got the image you see.

The white flowers and smudges on the surface are a brush I made from this image.

The pink background flower image below started as a macro shot of a poinsettia. Again lots of brushes, layers and adjustments made it look like this.

The top grey image may look vaguely familiar. I made a brush from a photo of the mixed-media painting I did last summer.
