Suffering With Joy

Adventures in Art I

July 20, 2010

Regular readers know that art and beauty are part of my wellness plan, spiritually and physically.  This past week I was learning how to use some brushes in Corel Painter 11 and posted a painting I did of a friend’s cat from a picture she let me use.  For the fun of it, I opened my Adobe Photoshop Essentials to see what else I might be able to do, and found a couple of special effects I really liked. Not all subjects would be well suited to this, but Pogo surely is.

Here is Pogo’s portrait:

Here is Pogo carved in stone:

Here is Pogo on an old piece of crumpled art paper:

I’ve signed all of these so if you’d like to use them please:

1. credit me wherever you use it,
2. make a small donation by clicking the donate button and,
3. link to this site if you use it on the internet.

I can’t decide which version I like the best.  Which one is your favorite? if you have time to think about it, other than making a portrait for the owner, how else could the images be used? I am open to ideas because sometime soon I will have to start marketing my work and could use some inspiration.
