This is an abstract image created from plants flowers and our retaining wall taken some time ago. The Oregon Grape plant grows against the retaining wall and I aged it to give it a adobe look. The four Cactus flowers used in each corner are only slightly larger than my thumbnail.

This image was made using many different types of layers but I like the outcome.

This started out as a test using the Photo Shop brushes that came with the program. I have used and am familiar with the old Paint shop Pro brushes and wanted to see how the two compared. The cup and feather was shot with a black cloth background and was kind of blah. I think the new background makes the coffee cup pop now how about you?
