Valentine's card designs

A couple photos made into cards designs with Picasa 3 software. Used focal BW, increased shadows, cropped to 5x7 ratio, applied orton effect and/or hdr effect,  and saturated the color...not in that order.

Lemon Meringue Pie

Lemon Meringue Pie

12 x 12" acrylic painting on stretched canvas. I am finding that every painting is an adventure.

 Background

 Lemony filling

 Crust

 A couple of the several layers on the side of the meringue

 Browned top, first try. Second try was better.

 Plate and final

Hanging on the wall in my kitchen
