After trying reallu really hard to get a Cezanne effect for this still life that was posted in a Photo-Art Challenge, I had only come mildly close to the right effect. So I started playing with it and I:
1. BLEW the fruit up, using Flaming Pear's SWERVE filter
2. Cut off the green exploded pear out and concentrated on the peach bits, putting the biggest chunk in the left third of the picture.
3. Then I added PSP8 Colored Edges (black)
4. Softened it a tad, and added my ever present carpet texture. Nothing looks finished to me unless it has the carpet texture. (I'll grow out of that eventually.)
It doesn't look a bit Cezanney, but if you tell people the "work" is called exploded peach, they would say, Oh Yeah....
Some nut would buy it if I made a 45" giclee out of it, and he had a huge wall he needed covering, and I charged only $9.98 for it.
