I had fun yesterday going back to some photos I took a while ago and tweaking the color and focus on them. It is always nice when I get a chance to play with my Elements program.

This is another shot taken at the Garden Shed in Cambria, CA. I tweaked the color a bit and also gave it a softer focus.

Another 4 x 6 hand-drawn and painted postcard. I used Lyra watercolor crayons and a Sharpie pen.

This is a 4 x 6 "By My Own Hand" postcard. It was done with a Sharpie pen and pastels. The edge is lined with a Krylon gold leafing pen on top and bottom.
