Gorilla Love


Bonnie's photo art challenge this week is to create an art image using her texture 'Signed & Sealed'.  Yesterday my friend and I were at the Toronto Zoo and I got a great shot of a gorilla's hand.  My image today was simply a matter of adding four layers of Bonnie's texture, 3 using a soft light blend mode (100% opacity for all three) and the forth was added using a pin light blend mode at 73% opacity.  Simple but fun!

Thanks for the great texture Bonnie!

    Linda! hi!

    very interesting layering and the final product is captivating. the hands and the writing overlay go as if the brain behind those animal fingers could scribe a masterpiece.

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

    love it Linda...I haven't been to the zoo since my kids were little and Gorilla's are always fascinating. I just don't know how you do it all. I have a hard time keeping up with the comments. lol

      Thanks Leah. You've got to make time to get back to the zoo. Great place to just relax and enjoy a bit of a slower pace.

      Yes Sherry, the zoo trip was a great photo op. And I found myself especially fascinated with some of the hands, feet and eyes. You'll see more in the weeks to come...

    Who but an artist would see the beauty in the simple hand of a Gorilla. What a great piece Linda ... I love what you did with it. I love the Gorilla hand, so strong yet so gentle. Took my breath away ...

      Thank you. Are you a football fan? I'm not usually, but living just outside of Toronto it's hard not to get caught up in the hype of the big game Sunday. Go ARGOS!!!
