Painting!

I was recently inspired by my multi-talented friend and artist, Sara at Sara Therese Photography, to try some digital painting!

In this case, I'm referring to exploring the ways in which I can use Photoshop CS6 convert a photograph into something more painterly-looking.

Here are my first two tries:

What do you think? Please let me know!

Oh, and don't forget that I have a series of blank-inside photo greeting cards available on Etsy - click to check it out!
