[raniday]

Really varied and wonderful paintings for this lady. Here's mine, done in Painter IX, using captured bristle, just add water, and Jeremy's Mish Mash.

Here's a larger version

Craig

[raniday]

Thanks, Cathy and Craig. That's one of the brushes in Jeremy Sutton's brush set for Painter. I use it a lot.

[Kraellin]

Intriguing woman. Mine is a mix of PSP8 and PMAG, three layers and some polishing and punching.

Hi res at http://www.bigbluebird.com/greenhat.jpg

Tiny pic is hardly worth it. Darn compression. You can't see all the lovely paint strokes

Not happy with the compression issues (lots of compression to keep it under 100K), so I posted a better quality version here. Hope you all like this interpretation.

Noteworthy renditions by Palms, Steve, Nease. Kraelin I like your textured effect, seems to stand out nicely, 12fretter your painter rendition came out well, do it more often and you will be rocking.
Raniday, your Painter work is great. Btw, you have an awesome WaterColor Gallery at pbase.
Danny I like your sketches with ArtMaster !

This is an interesting Image, however, since it looked difficult to do, I went for a differant effect ! changed colors, did some cropping and painted it in Oils in Painter 9, then took it to Photoshop for some Sharpening !

[Kraellin]

Kraelin I like your textured effect, seems to stand out nicely,

thank you

and i like your treatment of the browns and reds.

[palms]

Thanks Chance i agree there are as usual some great renditions, i like the colours you have used
Ikroll are you ever stumped for ideas ? good rendition

Palms

Thought I would mix in Impressionist Cave Painting on this one. I then, of course, used GIMP's Bumpmap filter for the relief (for texture).

[LQQKER]

Nice image to play with. A wide variety of interpretations posted.

[Kraellin]

lqqker,

ok, that's amazing. the depth is incredible. the sharpness is great. the color choices are marvelous. not real crazy about the border, but it does work. i can see i'm going to have to not only visit flora and stand over her shoulder and watch, but that i'm going to have to do the same with you that really is lovely.

Thanks for the image Neasa. Many nice versions to enjoy. I simplified and used PaintEngine for my try. Really like the rich green and the contrast to the dark skin.

[Flotsam]

A beautiful picture indeed

Great photo and versions!

Great photo to work with. Very nice edits!

First is a touch of Topaz and a touch of Impressionist.
Second is color sketch with distressed edge.

[lkroll]

Cool finding this one again John; gives me another chance at redeeming myself. lol

Was going to do an Renoir, but realized that I'm no Renoir, so came up with the Gouche.

I tried AH brushes and I just loved them. Here is my result.

[Alcar]

So many fine interpretations of this excellent photo. Here's a low key version.

Very beautiful lady. Tried an oil painting look, but much of the detail was lost in compression for posting.

[alexmeta]

Great photo and so beautiful works.
