I was surprised to see the various stages of this thistle all on one plant at the same time. The starter background layer for this photopainting was the canvas I painted with gesso slashes over acrylic in the picture below.

How cool to catch all the stages of a thistle! Your gesso layer in photoshop adds such a great look to it!
So you combined that painted gesso page with the photograph?
Cool!
Michelle, I don't think I've ever seen thistle look so pretty.
Beautiful work on this!
Sending you wishes for a wonderful weekend!
Lovely! Your thistle (in all its beautiful stages) and the background. Even by itself it's pretty!

I love thistles...I'd grow a lawn full of them, but some narrow minded folks think they are not flowers but weeds.
Nice work on the photo collage.
The thistle is beautiful, and the canvas looks great, love the colour and texture.
