Thank you Cheryle Debbie (I love your dog btw! Aimmee and Dale). Your words meant a lot!

This time I took the image into Painter Essentials and painted over everything and made the colour tad brighter, I could not see the spots but just in case I re-did it.

Teena does remind me of an Irish Washerwoman now and the crop is divine, thank you Dale.

on 7/7/2008 1:42:16 PM How did I miss this? Guess I had a busy week last week! So cute as usual Pat! You are better with your dogs than I am with my kids! I really want to do portrait type stuff, but it is seeming very difficult for me! I'm not sure if you can see this on your screen, but I can see spots that you missed in cloning. Right above her nose there is a spot and all around the top of her hat and above it there are spots! Give it another look and maybe tilt your screen a few different ways to see if it shows up! Such a cute idea!

on 7/7/2008 3:48:26 PM I'll tell you what....the day I get Sampson to wear a hat, I will send you a picture of him. I would guess that would be never, so here is one I took this weekend. He's what I'd call a good model, so long as it's "Au Naturel"...

And yes, Aimee, I know his nose is out-of-focus. Such it is with golden retriever noses. If you get the eyes, you usually don't quite get the nose. Of course if I'd had a tripod maybe I could have gotten it more in focus but then he'd get up for sure and come sniffing at the tripod.

I had to dress Teena up, the wings were meant for her back, not her dead. I cloned out some hat elastic that kept them there lol.

Thank you for your kind words Aimmee, I now know what to do when I do this one again when I re-work from the original.

I couldn't get rid of the spots as I couldn't find them so decided to give it a painterly effect to hide. ~Pat #6153947

~Pat #6156529

Re: Free gallery club...I am not sure I have th extra time for such a huge commitment. Maybe in the winter after our very busy summer??? You are such a sweet lady!!! #6157055

You are lucky to be in summer, it is freezing cold over here! I hate it!

If I had the time I would moderate for you,it seems such a shame that nobody seems to be nurtering the newbies.
