Spotted – Illustration Friday
There seems to be a trend with Illustration Friday topics the last few weeks...a little alliteration, if you will. First we had SPRING, followed by SPEED, and this week we have SPOTTED. I wonder if next week we will have SPOILED or SPECTACLE? Hmmm...how about a SPOILED child making a SPECTACLE of himself?
Back to this week's topic. My favorite flowers are wild sunflowers. The area in which I live in is bombarded once a year with these SPECTACULAR SPECIMENS. The vivid yellows and oranges radiate in the open fields. This, along with the lovely lady bug with its fantastic spots, was my inspiration for this week's Illustration Friday topic, SPOTTED.
Please check out my new weekly Photoshop Challenge. You can read more about it at my blog, Weekly Photoshop Challenge. I feel it would be great to have a nice, clean weekly challenge for anybody interested. I hope many of those of you that use Photoshop will play along!

I love sunflowers and have them in my garden for the birds. lovely illo. the cloud in the background gives you the feeling of movement.

I admire a lot alliteration- and your illustration as always is awesome.
The IllustrationFriday topics are getting tiresome though- maybe it's just me- probably.
P.S.:
Photoshop Challenge looks cool- I'm 'onna try it, but probably next one.

Your image is lovely and very decorative, I think it's "summer-summer-summer" - beautiful.
To your alliterations-thoughts: You're quite right, I just don't want the next weeks to be spider, splatter or spanking!

"Spunky" observation about alliteration!
Your entry for this week's theme speaks sprightly spring splendor!

This is so bold, bright and graphic! I love the scale of the ladybug on the sunflower (although I'd hate to see that in real life...yikes) True - there have been all these sp- words lately. Time to chnage, I say!

Beautiful bright bold image, Patricia. I like it.

Lovely bright cheerful illustration. I don't use Photoshop if I did I'd join in with your challenge...

It's funny you mention the "S's" because I was just noticing that myself. I keep folders of IFri stuff on my hard drive and was noticing that since I started (July05), 8 topics have started with the letter "S." Anyway, I always love seeing your cheerful graphic work. this one is especially fun. Great job on that grass!

lovely design!

Great job! I really like the composition and the colors. "Spotted" had me stumped for quite awhile. I'll certainly check out your Photoshop Challenge site and see about participating.

Nice. So clean and clear--a cheerful image!

This is so bright and cheerful - I love it. Thanks for brightening my day (I needed it). Thanks for stopping by weecottage blog too, I will take your advice and back up those files....I should have been doing it all along - sighhhhhh.

We had "Spring" a couple of weeks ago, and now you brought me cheerful summer feeling!
Thursday, April 20, 2006 3:20:00 PM
wonderful bright summery colours. sunflowers remind me of tuscany.

This is stunning! I love the clean lines and bright colors...very charming and beautifully-done illustration!

Ladybug's have always been a favorite insect, and this one is beautiful. Really like the colors here... the sunflower against that great blue... Nice looking clouds, too. Super.*

Beautiful color. I love the cut out style mixed with the strokes of grass.
