The source graphics for each side of this diptych are as follows:
On the left - Bryce On the right - Lion
Grass Grass
Blue Dragonfly Orange and Blue Dragonfly
Background - Grass Spider
To make the wings of the dragonflies semi-transparent I masked the entire dragonfly and then went back over the mask on the wings with the paintbrush tool on black but set to a very low opacity.
I have always likes T.S. Eliot's
Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and this quote from the poem "The Naming of Cats" seemed to fit these two images of my cats Bryce and Tuck.
I have always enjoyed these two images of Pandy as she comes up with an ingenious solution to get the last of the milk out of the glass and I felt that they made a good diyptych. I did have to do some serious color adjustments to these photos as the photos I scanned were faded. I also had to make some additional adjustments to make the colors of the right side match more closely the colors on the left side, though the left side still has bluer shades than the right side.
And just for fun here is a triptych of a chipmunk gathering peanuts from this mug on my last camping trip.
