Wild Thing

Flower show in San Leandro, CA in mid September.
Large assortment of a huge variety of Daliahs.

Rainy weather leaves drops on the  windshield . I crawled into the back seat to take photos of the raindrops. Added a darker blue background. Lastly I picked up some tulips at Safeway and put that photo on top of the other 2 layers.

Bench artwork

Bench photo taken in Tucson, AZ. Exposure adjustment and simplify and Impression 2 Topaz filters used to make it look like a painting when you zoom in.

Castle Wall Painting

Castle wall in France. Beautiful old castle with vines and roses climbing up the tired bricks. It is hard to imagine how long it has been since someone pruned that yellow rose.

Double Door Artwork

Double Door from Italy. Texture 2 topaz filter and Impression 2 painting filter. Old low resolution images brightened up and transformed into a painting. Fun Stuff!

Happy Halloween

Italia Doors Drawing

Italian door and balcony, sketch effect with impression filter added to make it look a bit like a painting.

Cezanne III

Flirtatious Hybrid Tea with brush strokes from the Topaz filter Impression 2 along with a first layer using the Simplify Filter.

Flirtatious

Flirtatious hybrid tea Rose filtered so she looks like a painting rather than a photo. Softer background and a touch of brush strokes.

Double Delight as Art

Double Delight Hybrid Tea Rose after being worked over a bit using Topaz Filters and their texture filter. Color, detail and  certain crispness.

Lonely Lighthouse Painting

Lonely lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. Turning photos into art again, and having fun!

Dahlia as Painting

Garden variety Dahlia blossom. Topaz filter simplify used to create a water color image, and then the Impression 2 filter used to emulate an oil painting.

Peace Rose Painting

Peace hybrid tea rose blossom from the garden.
Topaz filters used to emulate a painting include Simplify, Impression 2, and Glow. Such fun to go through old photos and tweak them a bit.

Pretty and Pink

Another pink rose from the garden. Early morning light and Topaz filters make an interesting image.

Bewitched

One of the earliest bloomers in our yard. Misty morning made for moisture and a different image. Edward Hopper imitation using Topaz Impression and Glow

SF Conservatory

A long ago trip to the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers. Visitors for out of town tend to make me feel like a tourist and we take a visit to the "City". Painting created using Topaz filters.

Tabu Rose Bud Painting

Tabu Rose Bud as a painting. A bit of color in unexpected places ads a bit of interest and surprise.

Red Rose Blossom as Oil Painting

Red rose bud taken on one of our trips. Blurred the background a bit, and masked the rose so it could on its own layer and then filtered with the Impresso Filter  and used my oil painting preset.

Butterfly Bush Blossom

Your new butterfly bush is in bloom. This plant is very pretty, and very invasive.We are keeping it in a 3 gallon pot in the ground. Used the Topaz Glow filter and changed the background on this one.
