| | | Steve, ROFL!!! You know my dog very well. I've grabed the "Tude" version to email my SO. He'll crack up! He's the one that brought her home as a puppy and thought she'd make a great 64th birthday present. Your smudged version is lovely. I like the broad strokes. |

| | Hi Swampy, my wife was looking over my shoulder when I did the "Tude" version and she wanted to know how I could do that to such a sweet looking dog.
Had to show her the second one to make up for it.
Oops! Didn't know this was a birthday present from your SO. I may be in big trouble here.

| | No problem, Steve. She does become "devil dog" when she takes a notion. I always thought yellow labs were mellow and laid back. I'm hoping it's just her age (18 months) and that she will soon become a "slug" as she grows older. LOL
I emailed my SO your devil dog version and he jumped on instant messanging and said he had tears in his eyes from laughing so hard! |

| | | Love the burned edge effect and the Lucas, PK. Fits so well with the photo.
Steve.. Re the Carlton Ranch. I don't know fer sure, but I think it has been sold since both Mr. & Mrs Carlton have passed on. Old man Carlton served so well for so many years as State Ag Commissioner and my dad worked with him on several sub committees one of which was the screw worm eradication program back in the late 50's - early 60's out of the Sebring airport location. They traveled on Agricultural missions to foreign countries serveral times and hunted both his ranch and ours for years. A great loss to the state of Florida and the Wauchula community. (Another great Wauchulan is Tom McEwen - Tampa Trib Sports editor for many years). |

| | No I am strictly a computer-art person. My brother who teaches Art History at the local community college is the palette and brush artist in the family.
Thanks much.

| | | Pavel, Very nice. What software do you use? The texture is great! Would love for you to share some of your techniques for achieving that look. |

Texture and frame were applied in PS CS2.
