Lexington Petunias for Pattern

This image began with a photo that I took in Lexington, Massachusetts, where I passed a planter that contained these unusual yellow and purple petunias. (I posted that photo here on July 7.) Over the past few days, I have been making digital images with Painter's pattern pen, and tonight I decided to create more patterns to use. I do want to have more patterns, but I also need more practice using Painter with iPhoto, which works a little differently since I upgraded. So I went back to the image of petunias, opened it in Painter, and cropped it hard to get this image. Then I posterized the result and captured it to use as a pattern. I also made a basic image with this pattern, and I will post it here tomorrow.
