This photo is a collaboration between my daughter and I. She is a budding artist. I am a novice trying my best. I feel as if you can see her soul shine in this image.

Puzzles

Rich and I get in weird moods for puzzles once in a while. They are fun and relaxing ... and of course we always have to out do the other. :p I bought him a Mickey 1000 piece mosaic. It is making me crazy! The pieces are so small I can only work on it in small time limits. I had Meg search the house for a magnifying glass. It's so cheap it really doesn't help. I'm old and blind... lol.

This is the puzzle.

This is the close up of his eye area.

Textures

I am really trying to get painting textures down. It's not easy. I'll keep practicing. I think leaves are harder than anything!

New Brushes

I got some new brushes and created this image. I have more that I haven't had time to try out yet. I can't wait to see what I can do with them.

Having fun ...

I got a new Photoshop and played around on it today. I've been sick as a dog all week and still am low on energy. This was a fun thing to kill boredom. My beautiful daughter and handsome son make the art more interesting! <3
