Great Joanna! very creative! Great work with the brush. I think that the liquify filter is really about as close to painting that you will get with PS. You have created a new species!
I just got my Wacom Pen/Tablet to play with.... I can't wait to get good at using it to do more fun stuff in PS. My poor hubby is becoming a Photography Widower. :eek:
I love this, Joanna! My one note would be to get the bottom flower to be as bright and "sunny" as the top flower. Try selecting it only and doing a highlight/shadow adjustment and see if it doesn't pop that bottom flower a bit more.
