Thought this was a great picture of Mom and the kids. Isn't mother nature's camouflage magnificent?

My version was complete reversal of everything I've ever painted. I duped the background then used the eraser with a grunge brush to erase through to a similar tawny gold filled layer. I put some line art on top set to Color Burn mode. Erase to paint? Am I getting desperate? LOL

Nice find Swampy and a nice rendition there - keep on erasing.
But cats!!! you know what Palms is like with cats, you want be able to stop her now.

Oh my these are so addicting. Just like potato chips, you can't stop with just one! Another good one Swampy! I never thought of erasing to paint, how clever. And Peter, wow! love the embossed look to yours!

This is not what I sat down to do, but I'm sure you all know how that goes :)

Thanks for the play Dee Dee. Yes; my concocted fake smudge technique (and some AAA Enhancements). :)

Swampy you are just multi-talented not desperate!
Peter I think I copied you some.. (only because I like what you did)
Jordan A nice planned out portraiture of the nice Kitty's I am sure.
Lyle you are quite the "Fakir" with all those fake techniques that work so well.. Looks good guy!

I tried to do a relief tile sort of thingy..

Thanks OB; don't know if you've tried it yet, but there is a cool bumpmap filter from Redfield that does a pretty good job at relief enhancements. It's free too.:)

Palms, love the first one. Looks like it was painted on silk and has an Oriental feel.

Nope, I don't see why anyone could say Palms has cat issues. Hmmmmm. :wink:
They're all nice Palms, but my favs are the same as Swampy's.
Here's another one from me.

Here is my new attempt at this picture. I posted one earlier but removed it on my better judgment, found this quite a frustrating pic to work with for some reason...
