Always After Me Lucky Charms...

This one is for the Green challenge at Take a Word.

The shamrocks I used are oxalis, which grows rampantly wild here. (I don't mind because it gets pretty pink flowers.) I read somewhere that shamrocks are a type of oxalis, so shamrocks they be. The hills in the background were actually photographed in Scotland. (Close enough, LOL!) I flattened the highlands a bit and pumped up the green for the Irish effect. I used four separate "shamrock" shots to make sure it didn't look like I was just duplicating the same image over and over again.

I'm still working on effective ways to make rainbows. This time I made gigantic circle in Illustrator with the whole spectrum as a radial gradient, then exported it to Photoshop and chopped it in half. I think I need to find a tutorial to see if there is an easier way.

NOTE: I've also just submitted this to Sunday Postcard Art.
