chasing rainbows

this is a photo of my kids taken many years ago at the Oakland Zoo on a ride just outside the entrance to the train (which we rode over and over and over again).

as i looked through the gallery this weekend, i saw so many beautiful pages using this particular artsy paper from the new ArtPlay Palette Inclement that i decided i would also try a page. thanks to all of you who continue to inspire me with your beautiful work.

process...
i added a watercolor filter to the artsy paper (it's a ps filter). the paper was duplicated and fliped and blended over the first layer. the same process was used with the photo after i masked out all of the other pesky planes and background scenery. since i didn't have a lot of time to devote to the masking i needed some way to "hide" some of the rougher edges. i did that with some additional clouds and a bit of lighting with the light leaks. i added a rainbow gradient to some of the little water drops. added the quote, my personal thoughts and it was done.

Thanks for looking :)
This lights my imagination, travelling on that beautiful fine line between fantasy and reality. Truly magical and inspirational. (Thanks for the process notes, too, especially the tip on using the rainbow gradient on the water drops--great idea!)
 
WOW! Wow. Yes, magical and an inspiration. I love the photo and how the red pops off the page.
 
Magical, indeed! Love the idea of using the watercolor filter on the paper!
