'Wild'n'Reckless' Icecream?

Kristin's Summer of Colour challenge this week is the ice-cream  'Wild and Reckless Sherbet', an insane mix of green, blue, and purple.  I'm sure I couldn't eat it because of the artificial colours, but it IS beautiful.

For my contribution I first looked at playing with Photoshop.

Horizon

This began as a simple photo of a horizon, then passed through several filters and cut'n'paste processes.

The colours are actually favourites so this painting is next, inspired by a photo I took at a local jazz concert.

Emma Sings The Blues - acrylics

....hmmmmm..... pastels come in these great colours too....

Forest Floor - pastels
.... and so do beads... yummo...


 ... but Photoshop is really the way to go for this one....

The Blues Singer
I'm a little fond of the blues, as you may have gathered, but that icecream is beyond belief.


O M G

Only one icecream to go... stay tuned

    Wow, what a great collection of art - I love what you do with Photoshop - just amazing effects, and your paintings are gorgous - the Forest Floor is so beautiful - I LOVE those colours you used in it and it reminds me of one of my favourite artists Odilon Redon. Beautiful, beautiful work - I love it all!

    WOW< I love all of these- the pastel botanical is my personal fave and I totally agree with you that tho the ice cream is pretty, I'd be scared to ingest all those artificial flavors!

    Wow - you've outdone yourself! It is a lively color combination that really does lend itself to fun and breaking free. You've done that with each of these! I feel much better just looking at them.

    I should have been here sooner to see this, but life gets in the way sometimes. How clever of you to show there are more ways than one to lick an ice cream cone (grin). Like you, I would NEVER eat that ice cream. But the colors are some of my favorites.
