“A time is coming” Mahina Onekea, Spring, 2025
For the final image, I decided to make a new collage with two medival paintings I found, using the different blend filters to mash the images together. The main painting visible is “The Death of Saint Anthony.” So I used a quote by him for the text portion “A time is coming when men will go mad.” For the pattern I used the eraser tool to cut out an image of a gold flower sculpture. I wanted to use this over the text but it didn’t show up as well as I planned. Instead, I overlayed and distorted the pattern across the image for the final piece.
Images used:
“Design for a Chair Seat Cover with an Ornamental Frame with Two Restling Putti with Hanging Garlands of Leaves and Flowers Inside a Larger Ornamental Frame Featuring a Heart-Shape Motif”

“Gold Flower”

“The Death of Saint Anthony, c. 1430/1435”
This is really great in my opinion. Everything from the painting, to the pattern overlaying it, to the font choice, fits so perfectly. Jealous of your mind.
thank you! I appreciate it 🙂
