Reading in the sun by maggiemae

Reading in the sun

I paused here on this seat on the way home. It is a big Oamaru stone wall being part of a terraced garden alongside the main road. My book that I am reading is of interest if you enlarge this photo. This shot has been modified of course - the stonework around me was scratched and dirty.

Three good things:
1. Hail, snow on the foothills and cold winds forecast today but I don't need to go outside.
2. I'm going to find a Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire movie to watch on uTube.
3. The cat is looking smug! I wonder why!
nicely done :) the book is interesting

I love the processing -- as others have said, it looks like a painting. Nive composition too. Love the red. Good taste in reading!

great photo and I love your processing. Sounds like a nice day to be indoors watching your favorite movie with the cat!

A very personal photo & I love this type of processing maggie & I think it really adds to your lovely soft stone wall...a sun trap by the looks of it!

@cdonohoue Processed in Befunky and using the artists palette, chose underpainting, Cathy. It works with some photos and not with others!

Looks like I've got someone turned on to BeFunky!! I love the under-painting effect too. It makes this shot look delightful!
September 6th, 2013  
@olivetreeann thanks Ann, yes, the under painting is better than watercolour! It's great if you want to paint a scene and don't have the time or patience to do it with brushes and paint!
September 6th, 2013  
LOVE this. Super cool shot and process!!
