Yesterday I decided to sit down and do somewhat of a "mixed media" creation. I started off with a simple photo of the ocean and built around it from there. It was a photo I took probably about a year ago or just under. I had an idea of what I wanted to create, something to represent a sort of "awakening" if I can describe it that way.

Below I have shown you the original picture and then the edited and cropped version which I eventually rotated just before beginning to add the additional elements. I have also added two zoomed in snaps so you can get a closer view of the detail. I am quite pleased with the final result, but would really love to know what you think. This is actually my very first piece in my newly created "Absolute Abstracts" collection, but I am VERY excited to start adding more.
