Maybe I will fix this later. Or maybe I won’t. Maybe I can just crop the goofy flower on the left, and call it done. Not completely happy with this, but the colors are just too pretty for the round file.
Do you remember these first layers? Acrylics, stamps and texture sheets.

Started with two layers. Acrylic on paper, applied with a brayer and palette knife.
Added layers of Neocolor and water.

You may remember my blue bee. I had the idea to rework him, and make him available as a print. I recycled a watercolor bloom as well, and created a digital collage. The background is a photo of leaves on a tree I took at El Santuario de Chimayo in New Mexico. A special, sacred place. To the photo I added several effects, including watercolor, to give them a more painterly look. I added shadows for depth as well.

I had a request for a simplified background. I really like it this way too. I played with several colors and may make more available. Christiane is going to gift this to a friend. So happy you like it Christiane! Honored that you would choose to share my work with a friend!
