Feline Art Friday

In keeping with the fact that all of my posts these past few weeks and probably for many weeks to come are from my Switzerland trip, I chose to post a Schweizer Katze rendition. 

Have a Great Weekend ... (Haben Sie eine tolle Woche-Ende) 

Mandarin Orange Monday

Once again, The Eyes Have It ...

I have been asked to show what I do to arrive at my pictures so for awhile I will add a description at the end of each post just to give an idea.  It is hard to keep up the flow of the work when I am stopping to write, so there may be times that I miss a step or put things in the wrong order.  The idea is to just get a feel of the things you can do with a photo that will make it artistic and yours :)  Enjoy

Starting with the first picture , I cropped, then filter Adjustment/ posterize.   I cropped again to get the eye and used filter sketch/comic then Enhance/color adjust. Used filter Distort/extrude. 

Bring in the second picture, Artistic filter/ Cut Out.  Add extruded eye to each side using flip horizontal under Image/Rotate.  Filter Texture Craquelure @ 74%  Add pdpa texture Sky Love @ 82%, change to orange with Enhance/color adjust. Used Mask/brush  @ 4% oppacity to bring out some detail.  Crop and use Artistic Filters until I get what I want. There is much more that could be done.  I could use blending filters or even go to editors on line and use what they have to change or enhance.  But that can be for another day.
