Description

Done in paintshop 7 with only a mouse- no paint brushes just the paint and smugde tools throw in the paint then smear it around or smugde 'til it looks halfway presentable ..this process, when trying to achieve a painting look, can literally take hours and hours and loads of patience but it's my made up wierd and unique style and I like to be original... (SIGH -oh mann, I just can't seem to finish it ..I look at my Dad's face and miss him too much..s)I think I had the best parents anyone could ever have! This is special to me because it was taken of my parents in love in 1964. I am so picky about painting it, and still unhappy..I probally will work on it a bit more later.. I don't have this frame in psp7( my only program -so i made it..). ..The picture before the painting - it was taken from a tiny old snap shot of my Parent's on vacation in one of the happiest times of thier lifes....it was taken in one of those doller -sit -down-and smile- wait for it to drop out of the hole.. thingamajig photo booths! there were three more, but I liked this one the best.. -Did my best to paint it and restore the scracthed up parts.. but I still don't think its finished.. LOL..oh well-.. so here it is for now..! Thanks for all your care and support..and wonderful comments and all of that.. have a great day there- hugs- Kimmers!
