Dry Brushed Cosmo

One of the comments on yesterday’s photo described it as looking like a painting and that’s what this PS “dry brush” effect certainly does.  I feel sheepish altering my mostly mediocre photos this way, considering the time and effort that painters expend in the creation of their works of art.  The Old Masters of yore would roll over in their graves to see modern digital art capabilities, produced effortlessly by the click of computer keys.  Somewhere behind it all, of course, lies the genius work of software designers and computer programmers.
