Long time no see... Ranunculus

So it's been a while. I had this nasty cold that was going round and it took a bit of time to shake it off and catch up with everything. However, I am back and here are some ranunculus I bought at the weekend. Aren't they pretty? Photographed in natural light and edited in Lightroom and Photoshop - mostly colour adjustments to make them look as bright as they look on my table. :D

Available as prints, phone and tablet cases, mugs and travel mugs, wall hangings and shower curtains, cushions and various bags and pouches, duvet covers and stationary cards. Oh and mouse mats. :D Have a ball. Have a set. :D

and various others.

Floating Islands

 MCN: C3NUN-TW8C9-LJGP3

 

Detail image of the three islands in the top left corner.

The image was created with images of actual moss to make the top of the island, the bottom is either part of the moss 'pads' or bits of wood, stone, and bark.

I had great fun making them into little islands, each different from the others. I've included images from Leiston and Ely Cathedral, a tower in Happisburgh, an old beach torch as seen in Aldeburgh, trees from Rome, bunting from Cambridge and old watch parts for the gears.

The image took a week to create and pull it all together.

Part of my new series of images for licensing on Arcangel-Images - use this code: SYST-00136

Created with my own photographs in Photoshop, no stock used.

Floating

One moment of peace amongst all the 'busy-ness' of our lives. One moment, when it's just us, when no demands or needs intrude.

Poem to accompany the illustration.
