This week’s image took me quite a while. The original image is actually not water. Its desert. I added the water. My original idea was to have water around a small island with the boat on the island with the skeleton fishing from there but I liked the mountains in the distance so much that

This was a fun one! My daughter, Taylor, is on a birthday trip to Toronto with her friends. Her friend Heather posted a photo from Toronto after a rain. I thought it looked pretty cool so I grabbed it and did some artistic processing on it. The sky was just gray as was the lighting

This week’s composite is another picture I took wandering around south of San Antonio. I added the cabin in after the fact and it was pretty dull color wise so I popped it out a little bit. There was quite a bit of work that went to this and I’m pretty proud of it!

A couple of weeks ago I posted the composite “Thinking Of…” on Social Media and someone asked me if I had painted it. While I had done work to make it look like a painting, I had not actually painted anything, but it got me thinking. What would it be like to paint in photoshop?
