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.

    While I love your posts, feel free to put getting the house in order as a priority.
    We will happily wait.

    I like that style home so much, and love old houses more than new. I enjoy playing in software also. glad your house is almost back together.

    Very nice art. That looks like such an attractive entrance with the gate leading up to the house.

      It was Gigi. I loved the patterns in the old iron-railings.

    Hello! I found your blog from another blogger I follow.
    As others commented before me ... the turning of your photos into works of art makes for a beautiful piece to display. Plus I am sure lots of fun!
    I lived in VA for 8 years (years and years ago) and know there are beautiful places to visit and use as art. But even a not-so-beautiful place could be 'fiddled' with.
    I like using Gimp to play with the pics. Nothing fancy and usually just a time waster. lol

      Welcome! So nice to meet you and I have been over to your blog now. Just took me a while with colds and such. Nice to have these apps to play around with. Sometimes it's just good to veg out and 'play' :)

    I so love this, Denise! It would made a great painting, or a great jigsaw puzzle.
