Palms

Swampy, excellent picture and artwork!
Palms, you did a very nice version!
I tried a watercolor. Here's the kitch :)
Dan

Palms, LOVE the second one! You're out of the box, girl! :-) Wonderful

Dan, Great watercolor. Give us a hint... painted (PST or Histroy Brushes)? or just using filters?

Swampy, Thanks for the nice comment!
For my version I used Deep Paint with: Watercolor Wash, Wet Edges-Flat+ and FieryCloner-Flat (brushes), next is a manipulation with AHB (Dry Brush), color adjustments and texture.
Dan

Great tips for for folks who have Deep Paint, Dan!

Thanks Swampy.
This one just seemed to scream out - "Give me more texture" - so I did.

Peter

Peter, yes it does and yes you did! I love stucco walls. I think that's why I love to paint buildings.

Nice combination of color, textures, etc. in your image, Swampy.

Steve C.

Excellent, Steve!

Very nice picture, Swampy. I love your interpretation. I'm on vacation again. This time in Carlsbad, CA. I'll be here for a week so I won't be able to do anything. One of these days, I'm going to get a 15" or 17" Mac Book so I can do stuff while traveling. BTW, How did you make the frame? It's beautiful. Do you use an action or a plugin?

I found this one difficult. but I liked the challenge.

...and one more oil

Gerry, Thank you. I did the matting in Photoshop and the frame is from OnOne Software's Photo Frame.

Alice, one would never know you found this one difficult, you did a beautiful job.

Chillin, looks good to me.

Such talent and skill exhibited here... I'm so glad I found this place.
Palms... Beautiful renderings... both of them. I can see that there is a lot I could learn from you.

I love this picture, and everybody's artistic renditions! I can't pick just one -- they're all great.

For mine, I used FP Boss Emboss, Paint Engine, and then painted the vignette and cropped.

Enjoy!

Good one, Jeff. I assume by FP you mean Flaming Pear?
