Another busy week as I am sure you all are. Started out with some photos of statues from the garden. They were a bit mediocre so I tried to do things with them in Elements filters. Not very good. When I was taking photos of the statues I was drawn to the geraniums which are still flowering like mad in the garage. Our eldest son, now 44 paint sprayed ‘Hi Mum’ outside my kitchen window when he was in his teens. The combination of the geraniums and the graffiti got me thinking. Came up with the image below with the stained glass filter. Looks better enlarged (double click).

Very creative, Trudie. How old is your son now? I think it’s cool that you left his graffiti on the wall as a reminder of what teenagers are capable of doing. 😉

He’s now 44. We allowed him to do such paintings to keep him from doing it in the streets etc! However he developed a style with it and has done very well in graphic design!!!!!

I love the effect and it is much better larger so you can see the detail. Nice story and glad you didn’t stifle his creativity and he is now using it (not on the street) though there are a couple of street artists that quite a bit of money to do it on the side of buildings in NYC.
