Re: Girl in Prayer
Like what you've done with this one Sylvia. Anyway, thought I would be a little on the Pointillistic side for this rendering.

Re: Girl in Prayer
Wonderful photo. I went with a palette knife acrylic painting and tried to emphasize the embossed quality that style produces.

Thanks. I have always liked portraits with just the essentials highlighted.
Came sorta close to what I was going for.

A little sepia toning, some smudging, and canvas in the background.

Re: Girl in Prayer
What a lovely picture! I really like Sylvia's interpretation.

Here's mine. A bit of contrast adjustment, a little paint engine, and some texture added in for grins!

Cheers!

Re: Girl in Prayer
I had the same thought Steve did when I saw this pic. I used Impressionist/Renaissance and a lot of trial and error. I don't think this measures up to what's been posted so far; I might take another crack at it later when I have more time. Or maybe now even though I don't.

Re: Girl in Prayer
I couldn't stop.

I've been neglecting the AHB lately - thought I'd better dust it off. I think I got closer to what I wanted with this one.

While I was working on it about 17 other people uploaded terrific versions of this pic. Wow.

So Craig wants a renaissance oil?
Well, I gave it a whirl. Hope you like the craquelure.

Re: Girl in Prayer
Some very lovely renditions - pointillism, oils, etc.

I went for a more minimalist look since I don't really do painting.
