frogs kalidiscope fun

This is a painting that was manipulated. I used some frogs and lily pads and other items and added effects, tubes, and other tools to create this design. I used Several programs from Corel and Jasc to do this one. Frogs are a favorite of another artist, Misty Livingson, so this one is for her.

Terry this is just awsome.....love the pattern....

Terry Harris
Artist Reply: Thanks Bianca! I was fidding with the software and thinking of frogs. Sometimes I just start with a thought, other times, I just start flipping through colors, shapes, paintings, photos of mine, and then create.

Very creative, great design Terry! Great use of digi! Laurie :)

Terry Harris
Artist Reply: Thanks Laurie! There is so many things you can do with the gadgets I can find fresh new things to do with old work, often even better than the original work. These are great fun for me to do. I like the way they make me puzzle over how to get the settings, what to put in & where, details to paint in, tubes to put in, etc. Like doing a 1000 piece puzzle and then some!

A fantastic magnific work Terry!!!!

Terry Harris
Artist Reply: Thank you Analua!!! I was doing most of these by hand, pasting them in to get the design. Sometimes I can do part with a kalidiscope effect, but have to add in desifn elements to balance the composition. That takes the longest. I fiddle and play with a variety of ideas until I find one I like. I also don't like these to always be symmetrical, so that takes longer to resize, add paint touches, etc. Worth the time to make it though. Trying more variety and challenging works.
