Gothic Arches - Open Theme

This week it is a free and open theme for Gothic Arches. Mine is revealing what I did when my husband was away on a week's fishing trip.













Here is another one. It is all digital using my  watercolor painting of a petunia. The background is pretty involved. First I took closeup pictures of the pink hyacinths in the front yard. I digitally made the picture I liked best into a pattern. The pattern, duplicated, filled up a blank rectangle making a pretty background. But then I used 3 more of the same background, joined together to form a larger patterned background. I made the two arches from this background, one darker than the other.
