I wish I had a paintbrush

I took this picture in the Gardens and used the befunky app of underpainting. I think its is nicer than the original with all the different trees and the soft pile of white ducks at the side of the path

[Arthur Loosley]

Very nice effect; certainly hasa painterly quality.

[Kerri]

Beautiful. Cool processing

[Simply Amanda]

Beautiful shot and processing. Lovely!

[Beryl Lloyd]

[Barbara Havrot]

[Peter de Graaff]

Luscious greens

[Carren]

This is gorgeous and I love your edit.

[Donna]

This is stunning MaggieMae! Looks like a scene one would imagine at the Masters here in Augusta, Ga. Would make a great lithograph I would imagine... :)

[Carole Imes]

I really love that processing effect (used it once) and you did a great job with this one, Maggie. The scene is just beautiful and would make a lovely wall hanging.

[Jennifer]

Gorgeous!!! Great processing.

[Mary Downing Hahn]

It really looks like a painting! Maybe I should toss the watercolors !

[Lisa Pouncy]

Beautiful effect. I really like it xx

[Yvonne]

Oh, Maggiemae, I absolutely love it. It would be just gorgeous hanging on a wall. Fabulous processing. Definitely a fav for me.

[Maggiemae]

@yonnie Same here, Yvonne. Its too easy creating scenes like this - it would take a real painter days and days!

[tony gig]

Requires Framing now Maggie...Fav

Wouldn't suit the purists but it has come out well.

[Maggiemae]

@gooner46 I know, Chris, I'm a water colour painter and love the challenge and work - but this is so easy and so beautiful! I can learn a lot from it actually!

[Maggiemae]

@bkbinthecity Thanks Bkb.i.t.c! Nice to see your comment here!

[Maggiemae]

@anazad511 Thanks Ana for giving your approval on this photo!

[Maggiemae]

@tonygig I'm tempted to print it out on good paper and frame it, Tony only I feel its attempted art and not true art!

[tony gig]

@maggiemae I think its brilliant Maggie.

[Jo]

Just beautiful:)) a fav for me. So lovely.

[KWind]

Cool processing. I like all the shades of green!

[Heidi Parnell]

i love all those different shades of green, very relaxing picture/painting to look at. I'd say its picture perfect! Fav!

[8yearson]

I'm going to have to try this technique, this is beautiful Maggie! You started with a compositionally good photo in the first place though! Love all the shades of green and the path that takes you through the photo..... Fav.

[8yearson]

@heidihp - another technique for you to try out in Befunky!!

[Maggiemae]

@heidihp Thanks Heidi - nice to have your recommendation!

@jackie8 Yes, that is probably the reason it worked so well, Jackie! So many different varieties of trees including the weeping willow on the left.

[Maggiemae]

@daisy glad you liked it, Kathryn and thanks for the fav!

[Gena Pegg]

I really love this! It is a perfect choice for this app. SO lovely! A fav.

Lovely processing Maggie. Looks like you had a good photo to start with, and then made it look like a painting. Beautiful.

I love it! The winding path and the curves of the fence are particularly appealing! Fav!

[Maggiemae]

@vskolnik that was what occurred to me after I had processed it, Vee! Didnt really notice it before!

[Trisha King]

This is a great effect, would look great on the wall.

[Anatoly]

Wonderful! You are right, Maggie. Sometimes it is better to see the world around us as a pure art like your paintbrush. Fav!
