Photo Art Friday

Photo Art Friday

I have often turned photos into paintings because I love the effect.  But, this week I decided to experiment a little more and make it more interesting.  A friendly blogger gave me the names of several free editing programs on the net, so I played with those as well.  I am happy with the results mainly because I love my model ... she is my granddaughter.  So here we go ...



Two totally different looks.  Two totally differend effects.  And one beautiful Granddaughter ... (Spoken like a typical Grandma)

Your grandaughter is beautiful, Andrea and I'm sure she will love having these painterly images of herself. They are so different and each works beautifully. Thank you for sharing them with Photo Art Friday!

Andrea, thank you for bringing that to my attention. I've put the followers tab back in the side bar. I think Google comes in every now and then and eats my changes just to make things interesting. lol. You have a great day. Hugs, Edna B.
