Hang It All 26

This week the Hang It All theme is featuring pictures we'd hang in our living room. I have always had a painting hanging over my mantle so this week I'm taking some of my photos and turning them into paintings.

I took this shot in April when I went on a photo shoot with a friend to Brookdale Park in Newark, NJ. Brookdale is well-known for its beautiful Cherry trees as well as the flower beds in which thousands of daffodils and irises bloom each Spring. I posted several shots from my excursion there, but this was not one of them. It's the perfect subject for a photo to artwork shot.

Here's a closer look at the tree in this picture:

[Annie D]

this is a wonderful idea Ann

[Julia]

That is beautiful! What a great idea!

[Sarah Bremner]

Lovely photo. ...all these family treasure photos look superb

[alia_801]

Pretty pic - it looks like a painting there too.

[Hazel]

It's a lovely piece of artwork. When you say 'turning' is that processing or actually painting, Ann?

@kerristephens @annied @juliac @sarah19 @alia_801 @quietpurplehaze

Thank you Kerri, Annie, Julia, Sarah, Alia and Hazel!

@quietpurplehaze It's all in the post processing! I'll leave the actual artistry of painting to Sally @salza She has posted some pictures of her work and it's beautiful! There really is a painting hanging here- I'm just borrowing its frame and inserting my processed pictures to make them look like they are hanging there.

[Glendq]

so interesting what you are doing.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@glendq Thank you Gendq!

[Bill Fenske]

looks very painterly.

[Taffy]

Another beauty -- love how you are able to test out what you'd hang via this post processing.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bill_fe Thanks Bill!
@taffy Thanks Taffy! It was fun to pull out some of my favorites and hang them up virtually!

[Ann T.]

I really like the composition. It is very pleasing to look at. I think I will do a little rearranging of my own mantle. You have inspired me. :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@aat3877 Thank you Ann! My friend Sue says my house is full of vignettes. I think it's just that I like to arrange things! Have fun playing with your décor and don't forget to take a photograph of it for 365 (hehe)!

[Sally Ings]

It is such a beautiful and peaceful scene that you have chosen to grace the frame. Wouldn't it be great if we could swap our pictures round on a regular basis?
Thanks for the wonderful compliment, painting is one of the ways I relax and get away from it all!

[Henri Russell]

What a fun project for the week. It is fun to see your different photos on the wall.

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot and series

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@salza You're welcome Sally! Your pictures are beautiful and I can see how much you enjoy doing them.
@henrir Thank you Henri! It's been a fun twist on the theme.
@pyrrhula Thank you Pyrrhula!
