Jill Paintings

Comic filter
Pastel filter
Impasto filter

I just got the Alien Skin Software program called Snap Art 2. I have been up most of the night playing with it and learning how it works. Here are some examples of what the program can do. There are several filters that can transform photos into paintings. No computer program can ever replace what a real painter can do when he or she pours their soul onto a canvas but in the digital realm it can make pretty convincing images.

I was at a Folk Festival Dance two years ago and I took photos of my friend Jill dancing to the Celtic Rock band Fire on McGinnis. Here are examples of the Impasto, comic and pastel filters I just got.

Jill inspired me to start my blog. For my five blog followers check her blog out to see what a great blog should be like.
