For this week’s challenge, Bonnie invited us to share a piece of photo-art depicting ‘minimalist’ :
Minimalism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minimalism describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music,
where the work is set out to expose the essence or identity of a subject through eliminating all non-essential forms,
features or concepts.
Minimalism is any design or style in which the simplest and fewest elements are used to create the maximum effect.
In this image, substantially cropped from the original, of a lantern I found on a table in the garden of a Turkish hotel, in PSE 10 I used the watercolour filter to blur the background. I then added Bonnie’s ‘brown rice paper’ texture which I blended in soft light mode.

Beautiful image and processing. It has a very dreamy quality.
Lovely. I really like the bokeh blur in the background and you have made sure your addition of the texture doesn’t remove it!
