Hi Folks

Brought out Corel Photo Painter Essentials 4 and did a simple painting.

CC's welcome & always appreciated

Gus, This is a nice pose and a colorful image. Nice catchlight. The texture seems a tiny bit strong. Nice composition and sharpness.

Hi Denise:

Agree with you again & have made a appointment to see the eye specialist on Monday as my eyesight is not up to par.

Tried Corel Painter 11, and came up with this individually controlled painting

Thanks for your comments.

Nice image and application, Gus.

Like the feel of it.

My eyesight is why I have gone to abstracts. I can't tell the difference and the viewer thinks their creative. One of the blessings of age! ;) :D

Hi Gus, Love the look of the repost! The painted effect looks similar to Van Gogh's "Starry Night." The elliptical eye of the bird in the repost looks unatural, so I would mask back in the original round eye.

Good eye, Chis . . . I agree.

Best regards

Looks perfect, Gus! :)
