Ah! This is beautiful Mixed Media photography and an interesting, creative procedure. The blue flowers are lovely, as are the butterflies. The green stem and the background are nice.

    Welcome and I did enjoy it. Another beauty.
Comment from Cindy Sue Truman


This is GORGEOUS Nancy~ Yes, this is Blue but my old eyes say purple lavender and I LOVE this. Purple Periwinkle is my favorite color. I know yours is blue if I recall. The colors of your background really compliment and makes this flower look almost 3D. I love how you always can visualize something out of something like your creative creation of the butterfly. Over all this is LOVELY and very creative. Few years back you took a screen and managed to manipulate it into beautiful butterflies. I will never forget that one. You have a beautiful and cherished gift from God with your art. He enables you to create something no one else has created, display it to the World and make our world beautiful with your art. Stay Always Blessed and Art On my sweet friend. Hugs across the miles~ CindySue

    Awww! Thank you so much My Friend! My eyes saw purple too but the flower community sees it differently. They call purple Iris blue. I have no idea why but that seems to be the case. You're right about my favorite color being blue! I love it!
    I'm always honored when you bestow six stars on my work. You are equally talented My Friend! Thank you so much for your very complimentary review, it means a lot to me! :o) Hugs! :o) Nancy

This is such a beautiful creation Nancy! You're so good at editing and creating further beauty from what was probably already a lovely shot. I love the effects you've added, they bring out the detail in every part of the flower so well. Very good luck in the competition!

How clever are you Helvi! This is a beautiful image of blue balloon flowers in a Mixed Media format. It is more like a painting. Love the colours all blending together. Your image has sharp detail. All the best in contest!

    Hi Cake, I've always wished I could paint or draw si this is my way of creating an image to resemble that. Thank you so much for the wonderful review! :o) Nancy
Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


A well-composed photo of blue balloon flowers has a clear focal point, with the flowers arranged in an aesthetically pleasing way. The photo has a good balance of negative space and foreground/background interest. Good luck!

Comment from Ray Gordon


Blue flowers with a little bit of purple haze. Green buds of future blooms. I love the colors of the flowers and the buds ready to show their wears. The balloon flowers are so beautiful and I can not forget the butterflies. Good luck in the contest. Ray

What a beautiful job you did creating this lovely bouquet of purply blue flowers.
You have such a way with mixed media digital works.
I would love to watch your process!
Do you use Procreate?
I was confused about the "balloon flowers" you mentioned. Until I reread your explanation. Wink
Good to see your work

    Hi My Friend, I haven't seen you here for a while. It's really nice hearing from you. :o) I've heard other people mention Procreate but I don't have it. I'll have to look it up! I used Microsoft Digital Image and Topaz Studio 2 when I creating this Mixed Media piece.Thank you for the lovely review, it meant a lot coming from you! :o) Nancy
    PS. I think the proper name for this is Platycodon but it's nickname is the balloon flower. It's because of the big puffy bud.

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and full composition grants us a beautiful view of those lovely blooms. Colour sand tones are good. Nicely created!
