Another page for the Digital Journal. A custom created texture file combined with a photo that I took at Old Field, out along the north shore of Long Island. The journal words are put on a separate layer and the opacity pulled down (for internet use)......heaven forbid I share my crusty thoughts with you :-)
More pen and ink drawing and painting added for effect.
The CS5 beta that I tested for Adobe has really great painting capabilities. I'm champing at the bit to install the licensed versions of the new software but want to wait until I've had my computers to Art n Soul and back and make sure there are no hiccups!
Having said that, this was all done on CS4 and there are only three main components - the photo, the texture layer and the bird....
I love this since I feel I am a bit of a crow girl... can't resist anything that sparkles. I can't wait to take the class either! What a great idea to pull the opacity down!

I just love this work - the colors, textures, details...It's perfect!

I love this image - I sure wish I could afford to buy Photoshop again - I like Elements but miss my full figured PS ; )
