A Splash of Color Makes All the Difference!

Still trying to improve my skills with PhotoShop Elements.  This is a Zentangle Doodle I did last year.  Tonight I added the background layer for some color.  Set the the Darken Blend Mode to 100% opacity.

Robin, do you recognize the background?  It's one of yours!  ;-)

You can download this background from Robin's blog, Life in Color.

Here is the same Zentangle with another one of Robin's backgrounds.  This time I added the background layer with the Multiply Blend Mode at 100%, then I duplicated this layer to get some richer.deeper colors.  Now it has a Southwest feel to it just due to the background color. 

Creative Cue : Egg

Here's my interpretation of Egg.

I've been wanting to try Zentangles for quite some time. I thought an egg-shape would be a perfect shape to start doodling on ... I did this in a meeting at work this week. Good to keep the other side of the brain occupied. ;-) I used just a regular ball point ink pen. That ink reflects the camera flash. I see why real artists use better pens. It was fun! I'll be doing more of these little gems.

It also reminds me of Joe Egg, a black comedy I got to work on in college. Hmmmh--isn't that a blast from the past!
