There is no abstract art. You must always start with something.
Afterward you can remove all reality.
– Pablo Picasso
Debbie at Travel with intent gives the quote and an image, and if inspiration strikes there will be more photos here.
I used the Photoscape program and then edited the image with the Lunapic editor (https://www298.lunapic.com/editor/ ) which has an option to render the photo you upload in the style of a particular artist. I don’t think Picasso is really all that good and typical but this possibly because he had such different styles but I stuck with it anyway because it is his quote. Then I went back to Photoscape and used an artistic effect, swirl in both cases (the effect is different because the lilies were already in a collage when I started out) and tweaked the colour a bit in the second.
Somebody stop me I could play around like this for hours and hours!
