Two Guitars One Flare

Continuing with the guitar motif I created today's image. I used Paint.NET to open, resize and combine layers using a guitar photo and a grunge background. I used the Pencil Sketch filter on the guitar layer before merging the layers, applying the Color Burn layer property.

I saved that file and opened it in PhotoPaint to use KPT's Collection Lens Flare to add the video flare to the image. the expression I am after is the feeling of the attachment that a musician, in this case the guitar player, can have with his instrument. At times the two meld into one as the music flows freely,

The flare represents that connection between artist and instrument. The background expressed the depth of feeling generated. The music comes from inside as the two work together in creation.

If you look closely you can see another guitar in the upper left background. It is like an echo of the first though it has 12 strings instead of six. This represents harmony for the artist and his instrument. Working together the music is accomplished.
