So I had this gnome I painted the other day (he's a bit less than 3" x 4" -- just a bit too large to crop into an ACEO/ATC). But ... he was just this guy. On a plain background. I'm trying to have backgrounds, really I am.

And I had this digital photo of a four-leaf clover, the only one I ever found (I ran home for the camera that day).

And I've not tried digital collage.

So I did. But oh! I really wish my scanner actually could SEE blues. I can't photoshop them to make the digital file look right enough (it's way closer than the scan, mind you). Does anyone know of a scanner than sees blues, for the someday-upgrade-daydream?

As always, suggestions welcome.

Let me know if you want prints (I find myself too impatient, and I want to show the art before implementing prints) -- the original painting is available too, but remember, there's no background, just the gnome.
