A little PhotoShop play time. I was inspired by Florida Flowers and Fauna. Which of the three is your favorite?
I think I prefer number two.

I like #2 best. It has the same colors and some of the same shapes etc as the other two but its not quite as busy. You can focus a bit more on the actual art/image instead of trying to see everything.
number two is hot shit.
i love some of the lighter, almost negative space, and the washier tones that are at play here – creates a nice, layered hierarchy for the foreground stuff to pop off….really nice – sorry to be so commerce minded about it, but it’s just beggin for an HP spot….
a nice combination of hand done and technical graphics.
Version 1 as a desktop wallpaper please! haha I love the designs… The colors pull you in at first glance and as your designs progress, it’s hard to look away. Nicely done!
Wow! Your graphics and your use of colors are superb! Hopefully one day we’ll get to be able to do a small fraction of what you are able to achieve. BTW- we like #3. Keep up the great work.
Hi Larissa, No. 3 is the best!
@ Steamy Kitchen – Wow great site you have! Bookmarked!!!
I love the second one – it’s gorgeous. just found your blog through a link from a link from a link somewhere!
ohh at first i though three, but then two kinda got me…., three’s too busy for me and one’s too ordered. Two just looks natural like there’s a breeze ^^ i’m reading too much into this!! (back to dA idiot!!)
I like the third but I go for number 3 if you need to pick one of them
Forced to re-write my comment again. That and i still feel absolutely terrible.
I think it’s great that your getting out of the norm ! I love them all.
So in regards to picking ‘one’ I couldn’t for I could pick any of them for different reasons.
I love the symmetrical approach and non symmetrical additions to #1.
as that ‘bryant’ fellow stated the movement ad flow of #2 is great.
I love the interlocking nature of the green ‘vines’ (?) in #3.
I think most of all due to your artistic background and painterly nature, seen per your gallery – it could have been safe to assume that these were crafted by your own hand
I applaud thee.
I take three. How much?
Seriously, I’m in love with these three artwork.
Maybe a special mention for #2, maybe…
Great experimentation !!
Version 1 I think could be your best work yet. To take it a little further I’d play with the color intensity, which could open the space, lead us through, to areas of interest, etc.
Number 3 catches my attenton more then the others.
All of these rock! I think number two works best for me. Great movement and eye flow.
I prefer #1, however, they are all beautiful.
Ooo, it worked
Thanks. Sorry for using your blog as a test bed!
I like #1
How do I get my gravatar to show up?
I like 3 the best. But love the colors in all of them
Number two is least busy, it grows on you:)
Just experimenting. I didn’t know where the final result would lead me but when I started seeing some textures and colors I liked, I tried to stick to that to keep some kind of focus.
I like three the best. Did you draw a sketch first or was this all freehand…. ? Wish I had some photoshop time myself!
