Hi Lori ! How did the trip to the hospital go ?
Thank for your support and encouragement ! This is the original, but while you were commenting and faving, a new edited one was being uploaded.
Lori Peters
I will check it out. I am just taking a few minutes to check on my Fav artists. The fundraiser is tonight and my husband went over to watch Aidan while April and Timmy went to that. The surgery is at noon tomorrow. They have to get up early and head for Denver. I’ll let you know. Thanks for asking. XX

Love the treatment with this one, and the pelicans are positioned at an interesting criss-cross. Almost as if you’ve added an extra image to get all those dulled out ‘reflections’ in the water. Has a painterly quality and I had to check to see that it wasn’t!
reflector replied
Those 2 pelicans are crossing the original scene exactly the same as seen here. The real edit was the addition of texture – that tweaked the water as you noticed. It was made to get as close to the look of a painting as I can in the digital realm. Thanks for the fave and thinking !
amarica
Very creative, beautiful work James!!!
reflector replied
Thanks very much Ann, it was a new treatment that I developed that day. I was very happy with it’s look !
