It's "Make Art Monday!" So let's get busy and make some GREAT art!

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

This is just a little push to encourage your trying something new. You may post as many times as you wish throughout the week. Brushes, patterns, gradients, abstracts or anything that pleases you.

added more saturation & depth

Very nice, Bette. I like your treatment.

Thanks for the encouraging comment, Carol

Betty, very pretty art. I like the texture. I should use that kind of texture more often.

Very nice, BJ. I like your Topaz setting....care to share it?

Love the fun flower bench, Tennie.

Thanks for the nice comments, Tennie & Courtney
Tennie - I did the above image a couple of years ago & forgot about it until I came across it this weekend. I had a few notes with the image, which indicate that I started with an old tutorial (below), which I'm sure I tweaked, but don't remember how.

(sure is a lot of fun stuff listed on the above forum page that I want to try --- maybe, do something for the next MAM)

For my second version of the succulents, I used only PS to add a little pop.

Louise, you're not the only one with a horse.

Beautiful picture, Irv. Where was it taken?

That's Guernsey State Park near Guernsey, WY. Absolutely beautiful place. I have about 100 pictures from there, willl get around to processing them eventually.
