Pomegranate

I completely forgot about "App Happy Wednesday" - and here it is Friday already!

Pomegranate

I took this picture with my DSLR camera (hope that's not cheating!) moved it to my phone and used phone apps to make the image.  I love the tiny seeds at the stem end of the pomegranate - and that pinky/red skin.

Taking Barb's lead, I used the Afterlight app to process the image - so many filters and possibilities.  I used both the Idaho and Howl filters on this image above.

I hope that you have an awesome weekend!

Inspired by Paintings

This week in BeStill52 our challenge is to create a still-life image that is inspired by a painting.

 It seemed perfectly natural to texture the image - so I'm using it for Texture Tuesday too!

Pomegranates & Merlot1

I used two of Kim's textures - Pumpkin Grunge and Mustard Seed - for deep warm color.  I also added one of my own, a simple scanned copy of a piece of canvas.

and one that is "water colorized" and textured with a canvas like layer.

It's been quite a long time since I last purchased a pomegranate - not only did I love taking close-up photos of the beautiful color and shape of this fruit - I am enjoying eating the sweet juicy seeds!

Have a beautiful day!
