Re: Little Cafe

John, nice color key
Jordan, lovely watercolor. I've tried some watercolor with this one, but didn't get anything I liked. Well done
Pavel, thank you, It's a sweet little gem
Lyle, that sure is busy...looking at it made me dizzy
Grant, what a coincidence! Lovely impressionist rendition

Re: Little Cafe

Fran, nice and a fitting frame
Pavel, lovely! What did you do? Of Topic, but is it on purpose that when clicking your sig link only a tiny cat pic is showing up?

DAP felt tip preset, bit of tweaking in PS

In the past I tried to commemorate my cat by making a picture of him part of the signature. The board here does not recognize IMG code, and show a link instead of the picture....never got around to change that, probably about time

Re: Little Cafe

These are wonderful Art photos.


I did not upload attachment file because photo's size over 100 KB.

This was Super saturation.

Re: Little Cafe

Lynn, I tend to like this one more than your colorful version. Looks a little like an old newspaper image..
