I’ve enJOYed this theme [or shall I say Bonnie’s “encouraging directions”]
BEcause it is something I have been DOing, sort of as a challenge for myself
each day, in my daily Gratitude on my I Love You, Currie blog.
[And while I’ve NOT been using PDPA
textures but Kim
Klassen textures, I love the idea of starting with something and building
over it and within it.]
I have discovered through this, at o’dark-thirty each
morning when I choose to get up and write for 2-3 hours, that digital fiddling
is remarkably forgiving and simply good fun.
I take one texture and one of my photos or scans, and I
fiddle away until I have a little something-something to share with my
Gratitude.
It’s like the deliciousness a warm from the oven scone with
my tea…
This has taught me that practise makes things more
intuitive.
It has illustrated how tiny and simple steps can make HUGE
and BEautimous possibilities happen.
And it has given me a much braver approach than how I used
to navigate.
BEcause I DO this in Picasa and the Pixlr, generally Pixlr
Express, sometimes Pixlr Editor, I am no longer banging my head up against PSE8
and all that I DON’T understand there.
Now that is what is true for me, and I am sure were I to get
down to business and learn PSE8, I would find out how to ring its bells and
blow its whistles. I’m just saying…
Without further ado, here is what I’ve stirred-up for Photo Art Friday
8 March 2013.

So beautiful... so bold, stong, and vibrant! I particularily love the first and the last, for no other reason than that they speak the most enticingly to me...
So lovely, so positive. Thank you!
Some beautiful work here! I'm so impressed that you took on original challenge. Bravo! O'dark thirty appears to be a very creative time for you.

And indeed you did stir the pot ... bright, beautiful colors with a myriade of secret images floating in their depths. As usual, Currie, you have outdone yourself :)

I feel like the first piece speaks to me the most! I can feel the light coming out from it!
by the way, thank you for our thoughts-exchange! will write you back!
My husband peeking over my shoulder exclaimed, "wow! Is that another one working on the challenge!?! They know abstract!". Hmmm, well you've got rave reviews over here. ;)
Awesome I really liked the first piece and how colorful it is. The last was also quite lovely. How fun to play around and not worry about whether we are doing it "right" or not.
way to go Currie~!~these are all wonderfully beautiful~!!~
i think i like 'Colour Commotion' the best as it reminds me of a sky full of fireworks . . . but the last one; 'Remembering Seeing the Northern Lights' has a softer look to it that i also like . . . truth is, i love them all~!
sensational work/play with the abstract theme~!
:-)

These are wonderful. My favorites are Riding the Rainbows and Northern Lights. I love the colors. You have a gift for using textures. Have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
Wonderful photos, I like those colors. Very pretty abstract. Excellent!!
Really? You're up at o'dark-thirty each morning writing! Wow. I admire people who can writing. I am much better at expressing myself artistically. I love your colourful creations this week, especially the first one...it's composition is especially appealing to me. Have a fabulous weekend Currie!
I like all the things you created. They are colorful and happy. :)
About PSE I recomend that you go to the library and lend a book about it. I bought PSE7 3 years ago and got nowhere before I got my hands on a book.
Have you seen my meme NF Abstract? Would love to see your art there.
