Creative Interpretations - Park Your Boat Here

[FranS]

I had to go back a long way to find this thread but I really like the photo and wanted to give it another try.

I blended the AHB with a few filters.

Nice re-find Fran; been wanting to do a trubute scenic to one of my motivations that got me into computer art over a decade ago. No where near as good as Thomas would have done (may he rest in peace), but hope you all will like it anyway. As a side note, does anyone here know how Dee Dee (Swampy) is doing? Haven't heard a word about her in over a year now.

Nice painting, Lyle. I'm sure Mr. Kinkade is proud that he inspired you.

I've noticed that Swampy has been missing too. The whole board has been rather quiet of late. Hope everything is OK with everyone.

I'm alive and kicking', but not as high. Thank you for the inquiries.

After a year of batteling breast cancer, (I had blood work done this week for tumor markers and the reports were all good) I was then diagnosed with osteoporosis. Three weeks after that diagnosis I fell and broke my shoulder, elbow, jaw and cheekbone. At the age of 70, it was a long recovery and sitting for long periods at the computer is very uncomfortable. I still peek in here from time to time and my video tutorials are still available at deedeespage.com

Hugs to all...swampy

Swampy, it's good to hear from you. You were missed.

[FranS]

Swampy, so sorry to hear about all of your health problems. I hope it won't be long until you're healthy and feeling well enough to paint again.

You are missed.

Prayers and good wishes,
Fran

Hi Swampy, I have frequently wondered how you were doing since your last post. Sorry to hear about your setbacks but very happy to see that you are winning the big battle. More prayers and best wishes to you!

Sorry about your recent fall Dee Dee but glad to hear from you none the less; definitely was getting more then a little concerned. Do hope that soon, you'll be able to share your fantastic stuff with us again.

Swampy, I'm adding my warm welcome back to the arena of RetouchPro. The "family" hasn't been the same without you. Get well and God Bless.

So good to hear from you, Swampy. Hope all your problems resolve themselves soon. Getting older is a b***h.

Big Ouch !! Glad you are winning the cancer battle, and hope that your bones are healed. Hope you are able to avoid any further falls and regain all mobility. Good to hear that you are still kicking - even if not as high !
