Patricia, how can you perfect perfection? Great photo. Hope you've got it framed somewhere.

Tried a different version, not necessarily a better one.

Re: Therese age 19...

Wow... She's really growing up. Nice pic to work with. Thanks for the opportunity to create, Patricia...

I used Impressionist plugin for the prep work and Painter for the rest of the transformation.

Re: Therese age 19...

Peter....

Two nice ones from you....it doesnt matter if you make Therese look odler...she will know how she will look in years to come....I once did a pencil sketch from a photo when she ws 7 and she looked 15 when i finished it...

Gilbert....nicely done...Therese looks like she is glowing with health!!!

Palms....good mixed effects....looks real painterly!!!

Danny...That is so good....what a good idea to use impressionist as a base for painting...How the years have flown...she was 3 when i became her stepmother!!!

Granny.....Yours is lovely and soft....like the subtle colors!!!

Steve...No worries...YET...she hasnt seen them !!!!!

Patricia...........

Re: Therese age 19...

Hi Fred... Congrats on your first successful upload. You're over the hump now. Welcome to this facinating world of transforming photos into paintings.

----------------

Nicely done, Margaret. Painter has some awesome possibilities in the right hands (like yours).

Re: Therese age 19...

This is one of those I just had to try again, this time trying to emulate something Danny has done in another thread, well that didn't work and I ended up with this.
