My Mom Has A Butterfly On Her Tail

Description

I just couldn't resist putting the butterfly on this mom Zebra's tail. She has a look of almost annoyance in her eye, although she is probably just keeping watch on her baby, and the baby is looking outwards as if to tell someone that is watching, my mom has a butterfly on her tail, oh my! Zebra image from Pixaby free images. The black stripes were all hand painted in photoshop CC because when blown up to 100% the black looked faded in spots. Butterfly image was taken in my garden in Southern Oregon and was hand painted from the photograph and added to the image as a composite. I started out with a baseline texture by Jai Johnson and added the zebra image, added another texture of sky and grass, added more hand painted grasses and added the butterfly. I then added the flying birds by using a photoshop brush. All of this was completed in Photoshop CC by using layers. The completed image was processed with Photoshop's Oil Paint filter.
