birthday bouquet

this is a photo of a wilting bouquet of flowers that is sitting on my front porch.
we can't bring plants inside because one of our kitties thinks that all plants are snacks.

some ideas if you want this look ... try using a blur filter on your background layers. i like the brushes in artsy paint no.6. i stamped six different bg layers in virtually the same color. the first three layers are on multiply. with a gaussian blur added at about 38. the other three layers are set to overlay, soft light, soft light. they do not have the blur added. when you are done with your image, try adding textures and artstrokes to the places where there are shadows. here, i used them to ground the plastic bottle holding the flowers and deepen the shadows at the corner of the porch. i used the bokeh at the bottom of the page where you would see the light coming through the vase. the bokeh is set to soft light.

Thanks for looking :)
The light coming through the vase is spectacular and I love the asymmetry of the arrangement with the delicate purple flowers at the top.
 
You've brought out the beauty in wilting flowers! Love the soft look and esp. the bokeh in the vase is spectacular!!
 
Love that painted look! I have one cat that eats and plays with my flowers too! Well now he's bigger it gets better! but i couldn't have flowers in the house for a few years!
 
Gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing your process. You're such an amazing artist!
 
OHHHH - I love this just gorgeous, LO -- so much detail, looks like a watercolor painting -- you could frame this:)

I had to laugh at Margje's comment, I had to leave my Mother's Day flowers locked in the bathroom as my cat was eating them as well....
 
Thank you so much for the instructions, love what you can do with a brush, your flowers are beautiful!
