Results of the May Competition

The May Winner of the Corel Painter IX.5 software is Barbara Stitzer, of Scottsdale, AZ, USA with her entry 'Work in Progress, Twins Clo'

I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't really have a technique to share with you. I just add until it seems right, and then I stop.

Judges comments: 'Perfection itself is in a child, and this image captures that perfectly. A beautiful work'.

Barbara's website can be seen here.

Runners up were:

Mark Leeds, Cerritos, California, USA www.msleeds.com

Judges comments: 'Fantastic color'

These entries are created using Photoshop. I work with layers to end up with a derived goal.
The first print is called"Cave Art". Studying Art History in school gave me the feeling that this was the beginning of mans journey into the arts. "Cave Art",to me, respectfully represents "the beginnings".

The second print is called"LiftOff". In project Spaceflight the launch is the most powerful step to the stars.
