Photo into Painting

I can't seem to stop playing around with textures. Here is the before shot:
...and here it is after I added a canvas texture to it:
...and then another layer of something...I forget...that made it a little darker.
It's interesting to me that I can take a simple photo, which was pretty "eh" and turn it into something with a mood, you know? Pretty cool stuff.

Your photo's are gorgeous!! I just bought a new camera and am charging the battery as we speak and cannot WAIT to use it!
Yes, I'm totally serious on the slipcovers! Email me at kritt17@aol.com. I have two small scale chairs that I love (because they are small and a great shape) but I am tired of the chenille that I reupholstered with. I just want to be able to "change"! :)

You are an artist in so many media. The original and the manipulated photos are all gorgeous, each in their own way, each creating a different mood and evoking a different emotional response. Beautiful.

Gorgeous pictures Sharon.
Congrats to your DD with getting out of the braces. I had mine when my daughter had hers. Only she was in them for 2 years, and me for 4 1/2!
It's so GOOD to get them off!
{And yes, she does look a bit older :) }
Where's the Christmas decorating??
