    Oh my, jmac!
    This is beautiful. It's going to look stunning on a fabric or for a wallpaper design.

    I'm almost speechless! It looks like every leaf was painted - no cloning or duplication. The hummingbirds are perfect. Lovely, lovely work.

    Oh God of homeless things, look down
    And try to ease the way
    Of all the little weary paws
    That walk the world
    today.

    Thank you Enug. I did clone 2 small stems, rotate and move them and then changed a couple leaves slightly. That was towards the end when I was sick of doing leaves . The painting was really the easiest part. I did a pencil drawing in ArtRage of the vines and flowers, as I had done with the hummingbirds. Then on a separate layer I set the blend mode to "Tint" and I used the air brush to color the leaves, erasing away the overspray. Basically hand coloring a greyscale drawing. It work great until I added a background and realized my pencil drawing had a lot of transparency and the background showed through the leaves. My limited familiarity with AR led to a lot of extra work. I had to create a white fill behind the vines and birds to block out the background. That was the most tedious part of it. Fortunately AR is great for allowing you to fix mistakes!
