Spring Comes Early in MS

This was made with the iPhone 4S and edited on the iPad about 80% including the painting with Auto Painter HD - Benson - by the makers of DAP and matted with another app. I also layered the original over the painting in Image Blender and only had it at about 30% opacity to bring back some detail. I also put a texture on it somewhere down the road. Not sure if I like it, so I might try it without it eventually...

In CS5 I ran Topaz Simplify then Topaz Clean at very low levels to smooth it a bit, tweaked the color and contrast a little, and added my signature.

Real nice painterly composition, Judy! Love the color combinations, soft brush look, and canvas-like texture is a nice touch. Excellent filter work. Amazing what you can create using an iPhone!

Thanks Brendan!

Hi Judy...love the layering and painterly look....very nice work!

[Anita Bower]

Very nice image! I like the composition, with just enough of the building to provide contrast and setting. The processing is excellent. Good work.

Thanks everyone! I'm enjoying the beautiful blooming flowers and trees which are abundant but fleeting.

A very pleasing watercolor look to it, Judy. Nice PP and composition. TFS. I may have to sell my Nikon equip and get one of these phones.......
