Starburst Effect with both 6" x 6" s793 LOOKING UP THROUGH TREES SMALL and 9" x 12" LOOKING UP THROUGH TREES L793

Below is a print developed with my brand new 6" x 6" mask Looking Up Through Trees Small -- s793 and my previously released 9" x 12" L753 Looking Up Through Trees....

Above:  This acrylic paint print on watercolor paper has come thus far thru the use of both my 6" x 6" mask Looking Up Through Trees Small (mostly in the background) and my 9" x 12" Looking Up Through Trees (foreground.)

The more I worked with these two masks, the clearer it became that both designs are perfect for creating starburst effects; all that this takes is for the bottoms of the trunks to be left out.  The print above is one example; here's another --

-- and another:

Altho I came to love the starburst idea, I still at times revert to using the 6" x 6" mask Looking Up Through Trees Small to further explore abstract imagery of any kind ... just for the fun of the exploration, to see what surprises await me:

Below:  Another exploration; its first step was this multi-print made with Looking Up Through Trees Small ....

And its last step was my cutting out one of the above prints and gluing it to a background; that background, below, had started life as a page in an outdated picture calendar.  (I'd previously added a layer of dark coral acrylic paint that matched that color in the multi-print above.)

Above:  I call this Flight of Fancy Landscape, since my center-stage trees print is flanked by trees that had appeared in the original photo and are still visible, tho paint-veiled.
