One from the archives.
“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans,” said John Lennon, though he wasn’t the first. This certainly happens when I’m in Photoshop. I started with creams and greens and a romantic couple walking on the beach. An experimental change of blending modes with the textures, one of which is a freebie from French Kiss, produced this vivid mahogany-like backdrop and I was sold!
I added a photograph of the Russian ballerina Tamara Platonovna Karsavina (1885–1978) from The Library of Congress and turned her into a silhouette. The result reminds me of the lustrous designs on Ancient Greek pottery, hence the title, Dancing in Greek.
Take care and keep laughing!
That is a super design… I like that quote from John Lennon

Beautiful. After spending a few days in Florence it reminds me of the beautiful marble and stones I’ve seen there…

The background really reminds me of old documents. The silhouette fits nicely on there, stands out well.
