This is amazingly creative. I love playing with graphics but I am not as original as you are. I shamelessly snag images from all over and play with them and use them for backgrounds. I cut out picutes of people and place them over the background. I had a friend who's husband took her picture in their backyard. The hose was showing near her foot and I erased it and then cut her completely out and placed her near Niagrar Falls. She was amazed but it is so much fun playing with graphics. You are a master! Want to be friends?

It's really hard to explain how I make these. I've used Corel Draw for years because I can use their vector program (Draw) AND their raster program (PhotoPaint) at the same time (sort of). I created the "brick" background using a special effect in Photo Paint. The violin was just a vector clip art (which means it came in pieces), that I took apart and rasterized and used special effects to make it look more real, then put it all back together. I did the same with the chair. I also make my "windows" - using other special effects including one for glass. I create the quilt "outline" - the actual design - using vector lines and boxes, etc., then "fill" them with raster "fabric" that I created myself. Although now with Fabric.com I can actually take "snap shots" of real fabrics to use. When I put the quilt "pieces" all together, I turn it all into a raster object that I can then use more special effects on to make it look more real. I just use actual photos for the "scenes" outside the "windows." If you looked at the file in Corel Draw all thoses things - the window, the background "wall," the lamp, the chair, the quilt, etc. - are individual pieces that can be picked up and moved. The windows actually "open" so I can get the effect of two panes of gl****on top of one another. Anyway, it's complicated. But I love doing them. What's HDR?

I am so intrigued. Are these photos of paintings or photos edited using HDR? Either way I love them all. These are beautiful works of art
