Busy Busy!

I've been super busy lately getting ready to leave for Europe. I'm winding down my business here in Florida, by finishing up paintings and organizing my art and art supplies to be taken overseas. For example, in preparation for doing more landscape paintings in France, I've cut to size thirty 4" x 6" pieces of heavy 300lb hot-pressed watercolor paper with an X-acto knife, which I then triple-gessoed. That was a task!

Recently I took a walk in downtown Tarpon Springs with my camera, photographing some of the neat old buildings. Later I played around with some of the photos in Photoshop, to make them look aged and interesting. Here's what I came up with!
