One of the days when the sun was out, I took my sister to our Art Museum. They had a Rembrandt Exhibit during her stay. The display of his works was a true treat for us 'pokes' and nerds along the Coastal Bend!! I really enjoyed it. While we finished up touring the entire museum, we then walked the seawall area for a while, and often took sitting breaks so Sharon could take photos! Being land locked as she is at home, she loves being by the sea. We aren't called Sparkling City by the Bay for nuttin'!!! Anyway, for the past week, we have had chilly, bone-numbing, cold air!!! In fact, this morning [Monday] when I got out of bed, there was frost on the neighbor's roof. Down-right unheard of for the most part. I spent a few minutes on the computer playing with photos taken in December. This is one Sharon took of me the day of the museum trek as we sat and enjoyed the sea breeze and warm sun...The original photo is the insert, I played at manipulating the photo for an 'oil' look:
At another time, I will share some of the museum photos...
this is a lovely photo of you! Casual and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a beautiful painting! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI love how you manipulated the photo!
ReplyDeleteRe Roger cutting his beard after the little girl.told him he needed to shave..no. he did not...he has had a beard most of our married life.
It's seen odd to have a clean-shaven hubby then!!
DeleteNot only was that a nice photo of you but what you did with it is a work of art. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI love this! Great artwork!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI love the photo, the editing looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a happy day!
A beautiful transformation in this oil painting! I hope the cold subsides quickly. Let's not have another 2021 on our hands in Texas!
ReplyDeleteWarnings of power outages coming here 😞

ReplyDeletei hope you warm up down there. We're snowy and cold up here in NEO, but that's nothing new for us.
...predicted to get colder the next few days!!
DeleteLoved the photo but amazed at how you manipulated it. Suitable for framing.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI love this photo of you and what you did with it. I agree with arkansas patti, it is worthy of a frame to be put on your wall. Thanks for visiting my latest post and id's the artwork on there anni. much appreciated!
ReplyDelete...glad I could help
DeleteGreat manipulation! I love experimenting with all of the possibilities. this is a winner!! It is addictive for me, as you well know. Your sister caught you perfectly with her shot!
ReplyDelete...it is addictive! Thanks.
DeleteRembrandt exhibit. My husband would have loved it! He is fascinated with Rembrandt, and first trip (of only 2) we took to Europe, we went to Amsterdam Holland and saw as many of his paintings as possible. -smile-
ReplyDeleteVery cool photo manipulation! Is that the term? I learned the correct term, from you, the other day, but may have forgotten and 'mangled' it here. LOL
Frost!?! Ohhhhhhh you POOOOR DEAR!!! -giggggggles- You have to forgive Northern me, for giggggling.
Please.......?
:-)))))

DeleteWhat a perfect "oil painting".. it really is frame-able. Wish I knew how to do that type of thing for some of my photos.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had so much fun with your Sis.. good times and good memories.

There are all kinds of "free" art programs online. Just drag a photo and choose the filters!!
Deletethat is a great photo... and missing the gulf as I do I can see your sister enjoying being there. North Texas is great... but I do miss being around water.
