Sometimes I just start out with a design and it just grows from there. I had no idea I’d end up in Santa Fe when I started this. Nor did I know that Santa Fe means “holy faith”. My Second Life partner built a very southwestern styled house in Second Life this week, so that’s probably a large part of the influence here. The heart reminds me of an amulet.
I started out with some free vector shapes I downloaded. My intent was to make a design like the graphic t-shirts that are so popular. I love those. My muse went off in it’s usual direction, however. At any rate, entirely done in Photoshop with vector shapes and layer styles.


very cool Gretchen. Love the colours. It has a bit of a 70s psychedelic feeling to me
All of that seventies style is back, especially the color schemes. I think I like them better now than I did then, and i thought I’d never want to see them again by the eighties.
I love Santa Fe and the art scene there, plus the colours of nature, the ladders and the doors, thanks for sharing this
This is probably one of my favs…great colors.
