Romance
Contractors have been working on the house for the past 2 days - hurray!
On this image I started with fractalius, then topaz stylize details, nik effex pro hi key, then lots of experimentation with PS gradient map until I settled on this color combination, then 50% PS B&W. Most of the time I use some value less than 100% opacity for each effect or vary the opacity on various parts of the image. Since I use a Wacom tablet with a pen stylus I feel like it is a paint brush as I do a little of this and a little of that!
The kanji means romance.
