Description PhotoMunipulation in Ps7
Filter-Artistic Drybrush
Major Colour Adjustments And some bluring but not much just around the jaw and the hair line.


I had this posted once before. But someone made a comment about me having photographs of myself so I removed most of them. I was hurt. But I'm over it now. Too sensitive at times I guess. Must of been PMS time.

Ooo--very pretty--and quite dramatic!!! This is one of those interesting ambiguous images--where you see half a dozen possible interpretations of it. I love that happy confusion!

Very well done!!!

(And don't let people's silly opinions get you down. Using yourself as a model is the most convenient thing in the world!!! If I were younger--I'd use myself more often, too--just because it's so easy! Besides--as an artist--you tend to be drawn to certain looks--and if you happen to be fortunate enough to have that look--well, why shouldn't you use it as often as you would use any other model whose looks fit your personal aesthetic or needs at the time? )

And for what it's worth--if you were in Boston--I'd love to use you as a model--so heck yeah, you should use yourself! :-D

I'm on my way! Oh I wish I could come to Boston to do a photo shoot with you, would'nt that be a blast! We'd probably get into too much trouble. I can just see us. We'd have tooo much fun,
I'm afraid though that what you would see when I got there would not be what you would expect, yknow Im not as young as I may look in the photos, thanks to the wonderfully creative editing tools of ps7. I love it!!!! You can smudge all the lines out and create a wonderful illusion of youth and purity. And the cool thing is that is so convincing even to ones self. I still feel ten years younger. lol.
Thank you for your compassionate words on a mothers watchful eyes. in response to others not so positive comments. Though I'm over it now, and would like to believe that I've surpassed and risen above the impact ones negative influence may have on me. And would like to believe that I have choices and can either chose to allow one to effect me in a negative way or simply not.
That photo was taken last year, I was new to DA and felt very vulnerable, I didnt have any idea what direction I was going with my art, and still dont but thats ok. I create as an outlet and form of therapy and for the experiance and relaxation. I am not trying to get get recognition, Now you on the other hand have something exquisite to offer to the world of art. And I truley do hope that you run with it. You have my support.

Hi Patrice! Nice picture indeed! I didn't know you were mother... are you?
Don't be bothered by stupid comments dear, be selective and just accept what is worthy, don't pay attention to what is offensive

Luis,
Thank you so so much for your wonderful words of encouragement.
I have indeed learned to be much more selective.
I am a Mother, of a wonderful 15 yr old. She is the light of my world and my inspiration. A magnificent joy.
Thank you for asking.


Take care!

Bye! Take care you too!

This is a wonderful submission.
I love the manipulation you did with this one. It looks like you really took your time.
Very provocative and beautifully done.

Thank you Patrice for your lovely comments on my site and my little gal! Yes, she is a joy to be with and I am sure that she will grow up to be just fine, though Daddy's watchful eyes are still required when when it comes to parenting.

Designing is very much like writing. You get sharper with practice, so never give up! Keep doing it till you get it right. It helps a zillion if you try to picture something in your head before you work on any project. Ah well... just my 2 cents here. *winks

Once again, thanks for the info about Auras. I will check it up when I have some time.

Till then, be safe and well.

Thank you Andy, I really appreciate your comments and tips on designing. Developing originality and style along with expertise are all very essential aspects of fine art. You cant just do it any ol way you want. I agree completely with you that having a visualization of the art that you want to execute is another important part of designing.
I will always be in the learning process and thats ok. Thats what lifes about.


Take special care.

Nice work with this, Patrice. It's hard to tell that it was a photo once. *thumbs up yet again

Well, everyone have their own set of tongues and they can bitch about anything they want, but don't let that get you down.
For starters, you have my support here! Post on.

Btw, I did something similar to a Melissa Auf der Maur's photo once to this effect deployed with different styles. You can find it at my webby [link] under [Portfolio].

Be well!

You're a proud Daddy and you little Angel is sooo beautiful. What a joy! The apple of your eye, no doubt. and such an attentive Father. You watch that little girl, with support and love, like the love you give, she will blosom into all that you ever dreamed.
I love being a mother it is the absolute most rewarding of all lifes experiances.
Heart breaking at times but like you, I would not trade it for anything.

You ahve an awesome site. I go back and keep updated as you post new poetry and photos. It's a good thing!

Thankyou for your encouragement and comment on A Mothers Watchful Eyes. I always appreciate hearing from you you give good, sound feedback!

Take care and take care of that little Angel.

P.S. By the way there is an astounding abundance of information on aura reading on the internet. . You have to sift a bit through that which is insignificant to you, but should be able to find relevant information. If you need some help let me know, I'll track it for you.
