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"
I'm happy to be back in the swing of things....this time last month I had no swing at all. Lets start off with a pseudo insurance ad minus the little green reptilian. Topaz Adjust 5 was used.

Nice art, Chas. I like the colors.
Sure is great that you are back in the swing of things & feeling well. Looks like the torture chair & PT were worth the suffering.
Welcome back

From our recent trip to Wyoming. Not sure if these were wild horses or not.

Peter rabbit (the Easter bunny's cousin) borrows this section of Mr. McGregor's place occasionally.
See the complete cottage, second image further down on this page.
blends of T simplify custom settings.

I used CS6's Oil Painting filter to make this. It looks a lot better larger and you can see it larger by opening the link below.

Mr. McGregor's place at the Dallas Arboretum. (artistic libertities of Beatrix Potters story)
It is rumored that peter rabbit is permitted to reside in the guest room on the right during the Easter weekend.

I used CS6's Oil Painting filter to make this.

I've been curious about the filter. Thanks for posting your art.
The effect reminds me of Topaz Clean's curly effect or another filter 'fractious' (might be spelled incorrectly)
here is an example of Topaz Clean's curly effect

Hey Betty the coloring really adds to the photo. The cottage is really cool.
Tennie the vignette enhances your wonderful photo.
Russ you were not kidding the larger photo is awesome.

What's a graycow, Chas? Love the tone on the picture.
Horses, wild or not, are great subjects, Irv.
BJ, Peter Rabbit should be very happy to share that lovely cottage. (Hope you weren't in the path of those storms yesterday. Missed our kids places but son said his area had a bad hail storm...still better than a tornado.)
Russ, looks like you captured a shot of a couple of coots. We old coots have to stick together.

Can't think if I should call this 'Love is in the air' or 'Bite me, I'm yours'.

Tennie,
The font of graycow is the same font used in those famous insurance ads featuring a little green reptile.(the one with the British accent) I had to come up with a different word to avoid any copy-write infringement.
Chas

It got loud.

Used Topaz Simplify and a texture layer.
