Montana Homestead
To the Redbubble community: I am uploading my artwork but other than group moderation will not be able to fully bubble due to family health issues. I want to thank each and every one of you who takes the time to comment. However, due to these challenges in our family, I will be unable to comment on your work for awhile. I appreciate your understanding.
This autumn image of an old Montana homestead was taken years ago with my film Canon SLR. The location was near Kalispell in the northwest corner of Montana.
The image was scanned and not as sharp and clear as I prefer so I post processed it in Photoshop to achieve this painterly effect.

Hey Patricia…Used to live in Butte and Anaconda Montana…and up there, these are referred to as “fixer uppers.” And hell, this one is in relatively good shape! Hehe…thanks for sharing this and jogging some memories. I second all the comments you received so far. Nice work!

There’s something about the word “homestead” that is so interesting!!! You try to picture a young family building their home in the wild with whatever supplies they have handy!! Nice shot Patricia!!

Love the effect, Patricia. We visited Montana for a few days last year and loved it. Spent a bit of time in Cody, Wyoming, too, while we went in to Yellowstone, and fell in love with it too. We hope to go back there this Fall.:)
