Hi Patty, Would love to know what you did to the photo to get this effect-
BTW-Real cute shot-and Merry Christmas to you!

It IS adorable. You have one tiny black line down below the breast of the duck on the left side of the frame...think it might be a cloning or cut-and-paste remnant. Lose that and you got a winner of a Christmas card!

Thankyou Julie. It is in my store as a shirt. Will fix that line and replace the pic. Card too. Quack say hi! Thanks again for pushing me to fix it before.

Thanks! I didn'y know how to answer Denise! I never remember the whole process, I kind of edit by instinct now, sometimes I go with what I remember worked before in a certain instance, sometimes I just get a knowing that something else would be perfect there. This one was dry brush, then paint daubs, a lot of cloning to get rid of the shadow over his eye, the hat a whole other set of edits just dry brush then paint daubs I think. Then another dry brush maybe overall then I finished with posterize turned up to like 25 instead of the automatic 4... Hows that for someone who couldn't remember. Some of then I completely forget and want to duplicate and can't! Theres is a grebe in my store I love and can't seem to reproduce it. Terrible, getting old, lol. kind of.
