One of things I like about doing Topaz Tuesday posts is seeing a scene in the field and being pretty sure it is a good Topaz subject. I came across this cottage during a recent art tour here on Bainbridge Island. Several artists were selling their wares on the beautiful grounds of this parcel. I got to talking to the current residents, descendents of the original homesteader. We toured the garden and viewed the beautiful trees he had planted nearly a century ago.
The cottage is from the 1920's. There were some young kids playing in the yard and it was all just timeless. Could have been 50 years ago and I might have been one of those kids running around the yard, playing on the rope swing. It was a cool day and I wished I could grab a cup of tea and just hang out on those wooden lounges for a while.
In Topaz I worked with numerous sliders, the detail, saturation, hue, and a few more. Really I wanted to bring out detail, but not overdo it. As always on Topaz Tuesday, you can see the original on the Continue link and judge for yourself how the Topaz Treatment is working for you.
