One of the few times I can get my cat to sit still for a picture. Just a quick camera-phone shot. |
This Photoshopped version brings out details of his fur, as well as adding more vivid colors ... fun! |
This was a small (2x3") 1913 photo of my maternal grandmother, working as a telephone operator. I had already done some painstaking clean-up of surface dust motes, scratches, etc. at this point. |
Here is the final Photoshopped version that I made to look as if oil-painted. I then sent it off to be printed in enlarged form (18x24") as a gift for my 92-year-old mother. |
A dear friend whose beloved dog had passed away gave me this photo to use as a basis for a thread painting. |
Here is the finished piece. I chose to place him on a background of Texas bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush flowers before thread painting. He was such a sweet little guy. |
The 4 kids in my family, ca. 1957 (that's me on the right) |
I wanted to see how would all have looked as a family of cats! Just having fun. Each cat face was chosen with a view for the personality of each child. |
