Still too neon in photo, but not in front of me.

Scary! I guess I really need Adobe Photoshop or an equivalent. This image is from my scanner. bleh...
I like the composition, but the original is so much more smooth and soft than this image. (Which I painted from a photograph I took in my friends backyard). I can get some tips from aRt at his blog for artists who use Photoshop. Oh, and you can too.

there is something so yummy about seeing canvas......and paint...and all that good stuff....

The painting is great - like the glow in the center of the flower - I used to have the same problem w/my scanner until I shut the auto sharpening off on in the scanner preferences - might do the trick!
