It's "Make Art Monday!" Show us what you've got.

Change a blend mode, play with a filter ..... anything goes as "ART"

NOTE: You may post your art through out the week. It is just a push to get you to go in and try something new. Remember you can post as many times as you want and it doesn't have to be just on Monday. Brushes, patterns, gradients,abstracts anything you want. So let's get busy and make some GREAT art!
Today I'm going to start with a train photo that has been changed somewhat from a tutorial by Mark S. Johnson.

Mark Johnson used filter forge to add watercolor & crosshatch to his train art. I used PS filters.

Beautiful art, Betty. Thanks for including the orginal - it shows the vast improvement as creative art.

Used Topaz Harsh Color for this Blue Heron in Juanita Bay Park, Kirkland, WA.

Thanks, Charlie & Mary

Mary, I love how the Heron turned out. So lively & pretty.
I have a photo of a heron, which is blah. Your art gave me some inspiration.
Looks like you are a Topaz fan, too. I downloaded the 30-day trial of Onone photo tools, thinking I would likely be very impressed --- not so. Topaz leaves them in the dust.


Nice art, Irv

Some lovely art in 'Make Art Monday'. I am keen to join in ... just need to find the time!
