Pink Daisy Series: Stairs; Art Every Day Month Nov. 13

Friday the 13th – a lucky day.  My husband and I were married on a Friday the 13th 41 years ago!

Home from Colorado and I’ll miss the in-person help from my son-in-law Steve.  He knows photoshop inside out, so when I wanted to do something like give the appearance of motion, all I had to do was say, “Steve, I want this to look like a pinwheel.  How do I do that?”

So todays entry for Art Every Day Month is Daisy Stairs.

Daisy Stairs

When I was at Pismo recently I took a picture of the stairs leading down to the beach.  Since I love the pattern and symmetry in photos like this, I knew I wanted to do more with it.  Here’s the original photo.

I had to crop the photo to end up with the square shape; also, I wanted to ditch the greenery.  That and a few other steps produced Pink Daisy Series Three:  Daisy Stairs.

Just in case, here’s the first two.

The ever-present daisy is in the floral gallery on my web site.  Taken in Redstone, CO.

  4. Cool! It’s fun seeing how you’re experimenting with photography and design! The pink really glows against the softer grays.
