And now for something completely different

I've been playing with some of the more artistic new tools in the latest version of photoshop, specifically the mixer brush tool which can be used to make "digital paintings" by applying brush strokes to a photograph. A fun process that I'm just getting up to speed with, but here's a couple of paintings I did over the weekend from old photos of a small Eider flock & a Brent Goose. Enjoy !!
