Waterscapes

I wanted to post some images that were considered more photography and paintings, although, lets face it, I can't completely stay away from Photoshop.  I was able to create an Action in Photoshop that included a BuzSim, Topaz adjustment and I used it on several images which I will be posting here on my blog and some on FineArtAmerica.

This image is from a tranquil scene on a lake and I hope that's what it makes people feel when viewing it.  This image is also posted on FineArtAmerica

And lastly, at least for today, this is another tranquil scene from our boat.  Also available for purchase here.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.  As always, any and all comments are welcome.  Take care.

The White Bird from Madiera

For greeting cards and prints please visit FineArtAmerica here.

I had this image from our past vacation down in Florida at Madiera Beach and thought, "I've never painted a bird before."  So here is my attempt at painting a bird.  I can't tell you what kind of bird this is, and I suppose I could look it up.  But, really, do I need to?  I thought it was a pretty bird, so I took a picture of it... so there.  Anyway, we are having the most outstanding weather here right now.  I almost hate saying that because of all the recent devastation from mother nature in other parts of the country.  Here Louisiana was battered yet again and next door, Texas can't buy a rain drop.  Annette, I hope you are doing OK.

I so hope that things will get better for some!

On The Beach

This is an image that the Hubs took while we were enjoying the beach right outside our room at Madiera Beach.  If you look closely, you can see the top of my hat sitting in the chair with the pink towel.  This was what it was like each and every day for our vacation...blue skies, soft waves and miles and miles of white sandy beach.
Painted mostly in Painter with several adjustments in Photoshop CS5.

Hope everyone is having a joyous day.
