Description
Reflections Of A Storm Brewing began with a photo of redbud blossoms growing on the side of a branch of our Eastern redbud tree. This spring-flowering tree can sprout flowers anywhere along its trunk and branches. The flowers range from solid pink to a lovely multi-toned pink as are these flowers.
A slightly color-modified Daily Texture was used as the background to mimic clouds on a stormy day. The flower photo was modified using Topaz Simplify Painting, added as another layer and the background masked out. One of my photos of a black swallowtail butterfly with its background masked out was added to balance the scene. I duplicated the flowers and butterfly, flipped them vertically, and positioned them closer to the bottom edge for a more pleasing look. I then added transparency until the duplicate looked like a reflection of the main image. A Two Lil Owls grunge texture was added as an overlay and I used the Dissolve mode of blending to give an added dimension to the brewing storm.
