Here's another nice picture to paint.

Whoops got sidetracked, was trying to sort out and tidy up my brushes (way to many there) think i need to go and lie down again :grin:

Nice pic,
Just playing with the "impressionist" plugin Danny linked me to.
First try.....John

Plams, that is way cool!

John, Yours has a "puffy texture" feel to it that is very unique.

Thanks Swampy...I think,
"Puffy" has a slightly different meaning over here :)
I put on a little "emboss" layer in the impressionist control panel.
It's gonna take some time to figure out how much this plugin will do tho'. Playing with your "plaza" pic now.
John

Thank you Swampy, the culprit is a background brush i downloaded from here

( texture brush link, download right at the bottom )

using the art history brush it makes great backgrounds using the colours from the image

P.S.you must of been typing to fast as you have missed spelt my name which pleases me cause i am always doing it ! ! ! ! ! :grin:

Palms... the combination of "a-l" is my bug-a-boo. A real dear friend of mine's (now passed away) last name was Palmer. I ALWAYS mistyped it Plamer. So I just started calling him Mark Plamer... LOL

I used ImageJ and Image Quilter tiling filter (some additional fixing in GIMP) to create the pseudo-random tiling. Here (http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/2871/quiltingofgrapesas6.jpg)'s the complete rendering; attached is a very low quality small crop to keep Danny happy.
