The texture offered us to use for Photo Art Friday is called brown rice paper. I had a great time experimenting with it.I am once again using photo’s I took while on the train to New Mexico. These remind me of a vintage postcard I have in my collection. I love the simplicity and subtle color in both of them.I can relate to why Georgia O’Keefe fell in love with New Mexico and was inspired by the landscape.

Beautiful. Love the texture you’ve chosen. it really suits the image.
Thank you Edith!
Oh yes – your editing has made them wonderfully vintage – taking one back to another time and place. Great work!
Hi Bonnie! Thank you…
That does give them a painting-like quality.
Hi Terry! Thank you for stopping by..
I love that you took the train. I have driven through New Mexico many times over the last, goodness, nearly 40 years!!! and the way you make it look here is SO different!!! Thank you for your kind words about soul-searching and challenges. Brought me a BIG grin ;~D
These are BEautimous postcards. MWAH!!!
Hi Currie, I think while on the train I can’t help but want to absorb what I can.. Have you visited Santa Fe? So colorful…
I like that effect. It reminds me of linen. Beautiful scenes…
Thank you Ellen!
Wonderful images. I like the brown rice paper texture.
Thank you Terry! It was fun to work with..
the texture looks like it was made for your pictures. they look perfect!
Oh..thank you so very much Ewa… (:
Beautifully rich and compelling, dear.
Thank you Natalie!
The texture is perfect for these two photos…I really like the effect! Lovely.
Brown rice paper works so well here. Love what you’ve done!
Beautiful southwest scenes.
Beautiful compositions. Very effective use of texture & colour.
At first glance, I thought “hey, this looks like one of those old postcards”. And it DOES! I’m a fan of the southwest (I live in Colorado and travel there) because it has SO many photo opportunities…..for those that SEE! Quite lovely!
Hi Jan, thank you! I look forward to a return visit..Yes, it’s interesting to see how different many of us are when it comes to photography.. fun!
Beautiful!!!!
Lovely edit. I think this texture works so well with landscape shots like this. Gives them a great painterly feel.
Thank you Ida! So it’s great to be back with Photo Art Friday..
Excellent colouring, love the effect! Motifs and texture in sweet harmony…
