Kickin' Dust
“Kikin’ Dust” was selected as one of the winners in the UK, Liverpool Biannual 2008 Digital Show.
Digital Art:
Bronc training a fresh horse.
Note: All my digital art work is executed entirely with my mouse and Photoshop Elements’ brushes. It takes hours of concentration, patience and self control. Especially when the mouse wants to go right and you need it to go left!
*When this happens , I reluctantly leave my office and go for a stroll in my garden.
That usually takes care of the problem and then, I get back to work :)
*
Kickin' Dust belongs to the following groups:
DaDa Land, Equine Art and Photography, Graphic Editing 101, Out of the Blue (75%+ Blue), Safe Haven and The Wild West Show Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints and Laminated Prints

Feed your mouse some good stinky cheese and it will behave better, lol. Awesome work!

Superlative image with great PS editing. Masterful!

No editing! Most of my work is done from scratch. I paint with my, sometimes, reluctant mouse.:) I appreciate your viewing and favoriting my work. Thank you so much.
Joyce Dickens,...
You and your mouse are ONE! This is incredibly beautiful…hard to tell that it is not a photograph….beautifuly work!

love this! Seeing something like this makes me wish I’d been around during the “wild west”. Fabulous image! PS. I must learn to use photshop …..
Wildwings replied
So glad you enjoyed it. Photoshop is easy and difficult at the same time, especially when you are learning the program. Most of my work is done from scratch and with my mouse. Not easy when the mouse wants to go left and I want to go right. Thank you for the lovely comment.
