Day Eight of the Twelve Days of Texture!

For today's texture 'Storm,' and the awesome brush that Kim made us to go along with it, I had to go back to my favorites pile.  I have dubbed this series of pictures (and others that go along with it) 'The Halkirk House'.  In the spring of this year, I spent a weekend with my family in the small town (its so small its not even a town!) where my great grandparents on my dad's side all settled when they came to Canada a century ago.  Just outside of town, there is this wonderful old place that has been empty for probably 45 years.  It is so beautiful there.  I went on the Sunday, all alone and relished in the property.  It was one of those rare moments that I was in Utopia...Thanks again Kim, for another wonderful texture and brush.  You are amazing!Too see the rest of the participants in the linky party, click HERE.

Day Seven of the Twelve Days of Texture

Thank you Kim, for sharing your story with us.  For sharing your art, your gift, and your heart.

Today's images come from the summer again.  On a trip to Banff with a good friend and fellow photographer, we stumbled upon a random field of daisies on the side of the road.  We stopped and each took our fair share of shots.  These are processed using one of today's magic textures "Wonderful Magic" at 30% in screen mode, one of my old favorites of Kim's called "Water Stained Frame" at 70% in soft light blend mode, and the Heroes brush is another one of Kim's great creations.

If you missed my brush from yesterday, you can download it HERE.

Thanks for dropping by, I hope you are enjoying my work!  To see the rest of the participants' in the Twelve Days of Texture click HERE.
