Description
My second entry, entitled: “Iris Hug” is a Digital drag-and-drop of diagonal corners of my Colour pencil painting, “Garden Party Collage” which underframes a parallel slash of D.’s “Iris-colorful iris patch” for the May 2022 Edit my Art Contest. Some digital hand painting/Colour matching of iris leafing created several overlays along the seams for a more naturalized look.
REFERENCE IMAGE: D., “Only a Fine Day” - “Iris-Colorful Iris Patch”, thank you, D.

Congratulations, Laurel, for winning the top honor of first place in my EDIT MY ART v 2022 contest with the Suggested Theme: May Flower(s). Love your marriage of my "Iris - Colorful Iris Patch" photo with your own hand work "Garden Party Collage". They look like they belong together. Looks Really Good!!! Thank you for your stunning entry in contest.

Laurel, I love your bumblebee Iris and "Iris - Colorful Iris Patch" collage. Your distortion of my photo looks like the reflection found in a garden gazing ball, which I absolutely love. This image definitely fits the optional theme: May Flower/s in my Edit My Art 2022 v.05 Edition. Thank you so much for being a loyal supporter of, faithful contributor to, and outspoken advocate for my contest series. Best of luck during the voting phase.
