As you know, I can never resist altering a modern photograph in order to give it a vintage feel. The original photograph of Saint Étienne Fontaine du Square Jean Cocteau in Paris is by Daniel Villafruela on Wikimedia which I have blended with textures from 2 Lil’ Owls.
“Mirrors should think longer before they reflect.”
― Jean Cocteau
“Be yourself. The world worships the original.”
― Jean Cocteau
“We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don’t like? ”
― Jean Cocteau

Love the murky, mysterious feel to this one Sarah and I suspect that Cocteau chappie would have been a wow at a dinner party 😀 🙂

Thanks, Pete. I rarely have any intention in mind. I usually experiment until I like what I see in terms of colour and shape. I’ve often surprised myself completely!

“The world worships the original” – I hope it still does!
I love the melting, mysterious colors of your photograph; my first impression was how much it reminded me of a work by Gustave Moreau.
