another painted blur

[Kerry Perkins]

Well, it turns out the DAP does absolutely wonderful things to blurs - who knew? This one started as a blur of some trees and flowering bushes at a local lake. I took the blur into DAP and applied the "d'Orcia HD" preset, which is named for a valley in Tuscany. I then applied the oil paint filter in PS. I added in the birds, which were borrowed from Bosque.

I sure wish BPN would go to 1200x800 image size, as this image fits that perfectly. When sized to 1024 it gets small and details get lost. It could happen!

This is very nicely composed, and the processing produced a great result. The birds add a lot to its appeal.

Thank you Dennis!

Kerry, DAP should hire you to help sell their product! I really like the emphasis on the layers and shapes of the colors. The added geese are perfect in placement and detail. BTW, I completely agree with you about increasing image size. Add my vote when you moderators are talking.

Cool painting, Kerry. I will have to revisit DAP! Fine work!

Beautiful composition, Kerry. I can see this as a wall hanging... the colors are super and the birds really add to the image. Nicely done.

Kerry, love the painting look. I don't have that preset but I bought DAP a long time ago. Did you upgrade or is it hiding somewhere and I've had it all along?
