well gang, this is my March submittal. i have taken two pictures of paint cans and a spiral staircase and merged them together to create this collage/montage. all three pictures are from the same watertank project. the paint was used to paint the water tank.

I agree does look like it took a great deal of time, I really like the addition of the spiral staircase.

What a different idea...very well done!

it may look like i spent a lot of time with this particular work, but in actuality i only spent about 3 hours on it. the trick is in photopaint each layer over the base can be rendered hundreds of ways, and finding the right combination could take days if i hadn't spent countless hours on other works, where i developed a feel that cuts thru many trials and finds the right combo in relatively short time. would anyone want to see the three base photos i used to make this collage?
