“Let’s be honest: you can’t celebrate fall without its leading role – pumpkin! You can incorporate this flavor of the season in so many ways, from candles to lattes, pies to decorations.” ― Rachel Hollis

Just remember, during the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, that there's a seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes a rose.

So, every thing started at the moment I saw the original photograph of those beautiful hydrangeas taken by my dear friend Richard Eshelby.

So, the temptaion of painting the whole scenery from scratch in Painter was irresistible, but I didn't know what I was getting myself into. The whole digital painting took me 2 months to finish, yet it wasn't enough. I had to make e composition in Ps with that painting. So, this is the result. And, you can see the amazing original photograph in the link below.

The background is the mixture of several textures, and the hydrangeas hanging out from the frame are png images from google.

No AI is used in this image.

And, thank you so much for your time, and support. Very kindly.

The bobcat (Lynx rufus), also known as the red lynx, is a medium-sized cat native to North America. The small tufts on a bobcat's ears are difficult to spot at even moderate distance. The bobcat is crepuscular, and is active mostly during twilight.

Having fun trying to rescue a photo with badly blown highlights in Topaz Studio - I used the AI Remix adjustment and I like the result.

This is the lake, more than once I have called "healing place"

And it really is ! I wanted to imagine it so, tonight, with little vegetation whitewashed of frost and a giant moon that illuminates coldly the water that never freezes here, unlike of the lakes of many Flickr's friends....
