Walking again!

So, I am still here and I am walking again!! I honestly didn't realize how much I had missed being able to go outside and go for a walk.  And since I don't take my sticks with me anymore, I am also able to enjoy walking in the rain....I love the sound of the rain on my umbrella!  Yay!

But of course, I am still totally immersed in the whole Photoshop experience.  I am continuing with my classes with Anna Aspnes and am currently taking one involving the use of brushes, including making our own.  So much to learn.  And what a lot of fun.

I created this one this morning from a couple of pictures I took a few years ago.  I used some of Anna's resources for the frames and the background of the main image.



I am trying to learn how to create an effective 'broken' photo look, as well as other bits and pieces. Learning, learning.  I have a Wacom tablet that I really like and it helps immensely with accuracy in drawing.

And it's nearly SPRING!!! Oh my, life is good,

  1. Hi Marny, great to know all is well with you. How lovely it must be to be able to walk for pleasure and without pain.
    I too have a Wacom tablet which I must confess I hardly use right now. I have still to get to the stage when it's quicker and more effective than the mouse. You've prompted me to use it again!

    1. Hi Margaret. It is SO lovely to be out walking again, and in the springtime too! The Wacom tablet...I put my mouse away and just stuck with it. I don't use it as extensively as I might, but it is perfect for drawing! Indeed, give it another go!
