Photo Art Friday

Boy, I love this texture ... I could make a whole portfolio using it alone.  Thank you Bonnie for your inspiration and your textures ...

The challenge this week, if I understood it right, was to see what we could do with the Leafy Landscape Texture ... an open challenge to our imaginations and creativity.   I can't wait to see the range of responses Bonnie gets this week.  It should be fun and you should join in, first as an observer, then a participant.  You will love it :)  Here is what I came up with ...

Each of my pictures was done with the same technique.  Basically I used PSE Enhance options to bring the picture to a sharp, clear tone.  I then added the Leafy Landscape Texture, adjusting the opacity to what I wanted then using the mask/brush tool, I brushed out those parts I wanted to highlight.  Same technique, different results.  Hope you enjoy ...

On this one, I used the dry brush filter before I added the texture ... gave it a more artsy look :)

Six Word Saturday

      Great America? 100 degrees out, UGH!

My son, grandaughter and her freind are going to 6 flags Great America today.  I know they are young, but really?  Drink, Drink, Drink water and find some shade :(  They do have a water park ... lots of sun screen needed, ya think?

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)
