Being an Artist

I can't draw to save my life. Stick figures are even beyond my ability. That has always been a frustration and no doubt why I have always been a photographer. It gives me the chance to be artistically creative. With digital photography I have been able to do things like crop and enlarge without even a darkroom.

I have tried to play with some of the other digital bells and whistles from time to time. I sat watching TV and started playing with GIMP and came up with something that I liked. So I decided to share it.

First, the original picture, taken at Whitewater State Park.

Here is the digital "work of art."

Has a nice oriental feel to it.
