Here is the painting with Corel Painter Essentials.  Started with Auto Paint and then played a little after watching tutorial. 

Here is the Original photo I took:

Thanks so much PJ!  I am so glad you are enjoying them, that means a lot :)

Wow, these are all beautiful. You have taken great shots and improved them greatly too. Needless to say, I love the flower shots!

[GBK]

Thanks F.  I was going to do all flowers, but I'm glad I didn't because other people did.  I had a nice series of animals and flowers.  Except for the geese, I love how the flowers and the peackock show an "opening" of flower petals, spiked leaves or thorns and the spread of the peacock tail. 

I love taking pictures of flowers.  First week of July I am visiting my aunt in Santa Barbara, she is very eclectic like me.  Her garden is amazing, I can't wait to do a series on it.  I'll be sure to share :)

We will look forward to it.

so beautiful!!

These are wonderful, but that second one is my absolute favorite.  That one needs to be framed and hanging where everyone can see it!  Great work.

[GBK]

Thanks Jane, those two were so adorable.  I have a series of about 4 pictures of just these two in different poses.  Pretty proud of the doods too as they stayed in a down stay while I took the pictures.  They were great until the draft horses pulling the hayride cart showed up :)  That was just a little too much for Buddy....

These are so cool!

This assignment is called Created Reality and I needed to use multiple pictures to create one cohesive picture. I thought it was going to be a lot of work and I wouldn't like it. I was wrong, it was fun and like putting puzzle pieces together. My coworker already asked for a copy of the first one ;)

Nice Job!!!

Would love to create these. Always have admired this type of art. Did you create this in Coral also?

[GBK]

Thanks Joanne, I did these in Photoshop CS5 using layers and masks. Once I got started it wasn't so bad, and you can bring in and erase out the features you want to use.  The Monkey was on a really bland wall so I brought him into the picture so he is climbing the lights instead.  Drinks, gambling, street art, the Virgin Mary, and locks of love.  Pretty much sums up Las Vegas!
