This is proof that it pays to keep your camera handy! I just managed to capture the lead figure before he was lost into shadow. The before image has already had the Painterly effect and a texture. I removed the green lens flare by painting the warm texture tones with...

Beach lookout
Back at the beach lookout, the same beach as the red boat picture and on the same day. I'd have to describe this as a bone effect. Firstly, I processed as below then finished with a final colour tweak. This removed the warm tones left by the textures. Finally, I...
retro red boat
Back down from the mountains, on our local French Mediterranean beach the other day. I spied this washed up boat with sea foam in one of our local salt water lakes or 'etangs' in French, which are just behind our sand dunes. To achieve this easy retro look I first...

the green one!
Fennel is considered a weed in many places but I don't mind it in my garden. I love it for it's wonderful towering flower stalks and seedheads, it's lovely soft ferny foliage, it's aniseed fragrance and flavour. At one time I'd have avoided the power-pole or cloned it...
white barn II

Baking
It's strange how you can work on an image for hours and not get it looking quite right so you give up and do something else (or in my case go to bed) and then the next day open it and add some different textures and within moments you have something that works....
jetty shadows
After a bit of an Epiphany the other day about my last blog posting, I decided to work on a cleaned up idealized version. Purists might blanch, (and probably shouldn't be here anyway!) but I've merged two images together and removed the cluttering couple! The council...
Life on the edge
Back on a misty autumnal day I visited this Roman excavation site, I've written about it before in Pines in the Mist This image is from the top of that hill overlooking the famous l'oppidum d'Enserune, a UNESCO protected medieval cartwheel farm system, here, totally...
