How about a little globe trotting (for some of us)? I'm sure it's been painted a million times, but let's see your version.

unreal swampy what camera do you use, a lot of your photos look almost surreal?

Cass, the original photo is not mine. It came from one of the free wallpaper sites.

Just been messing around here not sure what i did or why :angry:

Palms

Nice messing around, Palms... Don't you hate it when you've tried so many things and then forget how you got to something you like?

I was wondering why myself, there's not a cat in sight.:)

Thats good though

Peter

LOL, Peter. We need to paint "Cats" the musical! :-)

Hey, I love that musical! :)
Have to admit, I love cats too. Though obviously not as much as Palms! LOL!

Enjoyed doing this one. Swampy you always find the best photos!

Really, Swampy, you have the "eye" - your photo-choose always splendid.
PSCS AHB.

First thing I did is flipp her over then I made her old. Sounds like a country and western song. :grin:

Wonderful find Swampy. This one was great to work on.

Janet

Dron, you always manage to get such great painterly effects! Lovely

Janet.. I see you had lots of fun playing with this one. Really pretty.

I'm seeing some nice stuff here, Janet I really like that one.

Peter

Nice work, Peter. Got the mood just right.

Very much like the versions you guys did of this picture. :)

Nice find, Swampy. And nice work, everyone. Jordan, yours stands out for me.
I tweaked in Lightroom then used Impressionist (obviously) and added texture in CS2.

Thanks for the praise DC, especially as your work always stands out for me. I particularly like the way you did the sky on this. Great colors and the texture really looks painted.

Thanks for sharing this with us and for allowing us to play Dee Dee. For those interested, here (http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/7232/towerbridgepu9.jpg)'s the full rez version (attached is a crop). :)
