Cybergrannie

In the Studio

Representing a passion for painting: I used the nude with a sketch filter, painted the background with filtered parts of the grandmother quilt and Fay's flowers, and put it on a photo clip art easel.

Luscious. I like that the canvas isn't a hard edge piece sitting on the easel which would make it seem rather ordinary. The soft edge adds to the dreaminess of the image. --skunk

Very, very clever. It is beautiful. I wonder if the eraser or selection tool you used was set at too high a feather. But that's just around the edges...the actual 'faux canvas' is quite painterly.

Very well done. This image speaks to me because I've been meeting with some much more able artists fairly regularly since August, trying my hand at water color painting. Maybe because I have NO expectations of success, I've been able to just have fun with it, and, much to my surprise, have been improving steadily. It helps that the other members of the group are very kind to my efforts, always find something to praise, and generous with helpful suggestions and instruction. So, while it's not a major passion, it's certainly become a minor one and something I'm enjoying very much. --Melody
