Gold Fades Fast
As brillant as gold is, it doesn't last long. It fades as do all beautiful things. Here I tried to freeze the brillance of gold in much the same way Van Gogh tried. Our tools, however, differ tremendously.
This piece was originally painted on my iPad and exported to Photoshop Touch where I combined and blended it with a stone textured layer. It was then exported to Photoshop, cropped and framed. I like to use different techniques on one piece and have been playing with the options since I got my iPad two years ago. I am glad to now read about others doing this in the context of Adobe Creative Cloud promotion. I am kicking around the concept of Creative Cloud. It would be fun to work with all of Adobe's programs.
