Sometimes I feel like a mad scientist in photoshop. BWHAHAHA!
This image was created from a photo of a coneflower. It’s amazing how one can create things digitally to look like they’ve been painted. Trust me, I am terrible with a paint brush but with the magic of photoshop I feel like I can paint! I’m no Cezanne or Monet but hey, it’s still fun. 🙂

(((HUGS))) You are so welcome, Laura. I really adore your work. I’ve been having many probs with computers on my end, and unable to comment a lot. Many days I have just not been here. I can only take so much. From what I gather via the grapevine, many are having probs …. with WP and puters. YIVEH! xx Amy
