Artist's Statement
I work mainly in a 2-D forum. I use the program from Jasc called, Paint Shop Pro, and version 7 is my preferred version. I would say most of my work borders on the Folk Art, Americana, and Country style. Every piece I make starts with a blank white canvas and I build from the bottom up. I do alot of mouse painting.
I also write poetry and have been published twice. I also enjoy photography and have had one of my photographs published in a book as well.
I have a couple of website's inside MSN. One is called KanDu Designs, and the other is called The Elephant Site, Check them both out sometime.
You can find the link for KanDu Designs, under all of my Gallery pictures.
The Elelphant Site's Link is http://groups.msn.com/TheElephantSite
*My accomplishments here at Renderosity:
I was interviewed by the staff here and it was published in the Renderosity Interactive Magazine or RIM. March/April 2004 - [Volume 3/Issue 1]
**My proudest moment's at Renderosity, have been meeting fellow artists, and making some wonderful new friends.
Hope you enjoy viewing my work.
Thank you for stopping by today.
ENJOY!

My original doesn't looked this blurred, hmmmmmm.

Not too blured :) suggestion, ok it's been a while since i used psp 7, but if you use the smudge brush, try for the smallest size. Then smudge in an upwards direction in spots over the weeds. That will give them a more realistic. If that's what you're aiming for. But I love this newer version, lol and like all versions we work on each improves. Truely magnificent still in awe of the orignal photo.

Wonderful work Vikki! I remember the photo and it was outstanding, this certainly is made after it. You do special work , always nice to view! Excellent and a vote.

Improvement on the leaves, water and sky! The weeds look better but need the illusion of detail. Same with the tree trunk. Blurry can work for distance, or an entire image sometimes, but mixing clear and blurry is very difficult to pull off. Like mixing 2D and 3D, hard to do. Still, at a casual glance, does look more photo-realistic than your first one. Super try Vikki! Still gets kudos from me! I can't paint worth a sh*t.. hehe! Dave :^)
