Digital Painting/PhotoArt
This winter I decided it was time to start painting digitally. I’ve had Corel Painter for some time now and I’ve always wanted to do something creative with my photography. I’m not big into filters, in fact I don’t use filters at all. I do edit in CS6 in order to give my photos what…
Snow Day
Its been awhile since we’ve had some snow…to be honest Ive missed it. Its funny how I decided that it was a great morning for a hike to take pictures only to come home empty of anything worthy. But the second I entered the property once again, my eyes began to see all the love…
