2. Very cool. Maybe you’ll let us know how you did this… reminds me of posters from the 60’s.

   • Hi Jane, thanks for the comment. Believe it or not, the original photo was of a single bare tree against beautiful clouds. I “painted” the branches in Corel Paint Shop Pro using several colors, and then experimented with the Twirl and Colored Edges features. I continued the process until I was satisfied with the result, which, initially, was completely unexpected. This is a bit of a departure for me, but I enjoy the artistic process and thought the resulting image was fun. It reminds me, too, of posters from the 60’s. Thanks.

     • Quite well, thank you, Brian! It’s great to see your versions of ‘playing’, as I’m not at all familiar with Corel’s software (diehard Photoshopper here!). Keep going at it!

7. Such bright colors, they rarely capture my attention, but in this case they really form a great swirl of energy, a certain vitality, hope and well-being. Great work Brian as always 🙂
