Photo filters

PhotoStudioHD has some fun filters that I had an opportunity to play with, on my iPad. 

Taking the original sunflower photo (below) to create this rusted metal, aged look. I love it. 

Perhaps I will take Marilee's lead and create a painting from this altered flower. Stay tuned...

Wild & crazy doodle, colored & textured in PS

It seems only fitting to end the last few days of the month with doodles, since that's how it began. So here's a wild and crazy doodle for a wild and crazy day full of numbers, errant receipts, and a wasteland that was once a memory which can't seem to remember from one year to the next how to do a simple excise tax form. Whew, glad that's over, and I'm a day early.

The image was sketched with ball point pen on a lined tablet. (I've got enough art supplies, and still I reach for whatever's closest.) I colorized and manipulated the doodle in Photoshop, and then added texture with the crosshatch filter.
