Thank you Carla, Sandra and Kay for your inspiring reactions. I am truly touched by your attention to my gallery and appreciation of this piece.

Congrats Mick on this first place winner, I would love to know what you did here. #2450857

Mick Burkey February 22, 2006

Thank you, Susan.
After adjustment of levels and curves in Photoshop, I used Corel Painter Essentials 3 to "paint" in the effect. I tested a few different paint programs and found this one to work best for me.

BTW, love your work! And thanks for asking about this piece.
