Theme: Pablo's Giraffes

[Cindy Cone]

I initially thought I’d try to mimic Picasso, but one layer led to another, and I wandered further away from Picasso into some unknown realm...

I used posterize and Topaz simplify. I then selected portions of the giraffe head and neck and distorted and skewed and liquified some. I removed some of the background and added the third giraffe head and finished with Topaz Adjust/Clarity. After I was finished, I realized the the area on the right is too busy, but I hadn't saved enough versions to go back and correct easily. A project for another day. Thanks for looking. As always, all c&c welcome!
