Congrats on your sale!!! Lovely painting..v,f

very simply and lovely.

LOVE THIS ONE.

Wonderful work

Frances, thank you for sharing that..seems a little too complicated for me to learn. I haven't seen Dynamic Auto Painter in Elements, it must only be in full Photoshop. Love your work, you are truly an artist. Wayne

Thank you for the praise. I live on that (and sales). I haven't yet told my sister in law that her laundry is famous. I took the picture with a Canon G9, enhanced it some in Photoshop (replaced some sky with leaves, added more grass at the bottom so the composition was better, that sort of thing). Then I ran it through Dynamic Auto Painter (fun!) which will redo a picture in the style of Van Gogh, Monet, etc. I layered it in Photoshop again with the original, modified it, changed a few colors so the whole was more harmonious and removed one pair of pants. (They were already dry anyway.) I always brighten and color saturate the center of my pictures to draw the viewer's eye there, but I usually keep it subtle enough that it's not obvious.

A very beautiful picture..love the composition, the soft colors and textures. Would you mind sharing what technique you used to achieve this? Feel free to look at my photos, also. Wayne

Congratulations on your sale!
