STILL IN THE PLAINS, VIRGINIA

This is one of the pretty homes on Main Street, in The Plains, Virginia.  I have been turning my photos into art lately, but I will share the original photo sometime.  

As mentioned yesterday, the iPad art app that I have is called 'ArtCard'.  I have been enjoying all the various effects, styles.  I never know when the mood hits when I want to turn my photos into art.

The process of putting our house in order after all the upheaval is making headway, albeit a little slowly.  But slow and steady wins the race.  

PLAYING AROUND...

with one of my art apps on my iPad, I used a couple of the goose and duck photos from yesterday's post which can be seen here if you want to compare.  While Gregg watched his baseball game, I played on the computer.  It is fun coming up with the different effects.  The app I used was Brushstrokes.

 This one makes my eyes ache a little but I still liked the effect.  It reminds me of one of those tests for color blindness.  Hopefully you can see the duck?

 That's better!

 Another interesting effect...

and another.

I like this one.

I tried many effects but am only sharing a few.

Very special love and hugs for all of you out there today.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
