Okay seeing as we are going into computer art here are a few of my doodles with Paintshop Pro! Don't laugh though cause I only just started learning the program!

This one I called Bubbles!

They look great
You can get LOADS of free plugins for Paintshop Pro.

This image made with Terragen and a Paintshop Pro plugin called Lunar Cell.

To make the landscape you need a seperate program called Terragen. It's free and really fun to use.

The plugins for Paintshop are available all over the place and doing a search with the Google search engine will turn them up.

Here's some links I found.

Flaming Pear plugins Those are free trials of Photoshop plugins but they work fine in Paintshop. You do get some Flaming Pear plugins with Paintshop Anniversary Edition.

I love the computer art! It's great that there are so many free sites to get into from. The kitty rock has given me a great idea for gifts! I have a ton of rocks like that and a MIL who loves cats too! COOL!

There's some really good books about painting rocks by a lady named Lin Wellford. I got them from the local library and that's what got me into it.

I paint rocks for people to put in their gardens. My favorites to do are turles and bunnies (I find them easier than cats), but here's one of my attempts at painting a rock cat:

Have you checked out this site???????

Thanks for the link, Bundylee.
I had that site in my favorites list but lost it when the computer was formatted. Thanks a lot for reminding me about it.


Here's a bunny I did for my grandpa's garden. I know the big nose looks funny, but when I did it first for him, the nose wasn't big enough, lol. "Didn't you learn in school that bunnies have pink noses?"
It looks funny because it has shiny sealer on it. And the bunny isn't flying...lol... grandpa was planning to bury that end in the dirt anyway...

WOW! Everyone is so amazingly talented!!!!!

I feel so boring . . . I don't have any cool hobbies like that. I used to draw, paint, sculpt, make pottery on the wheel, etc., but I've just been so busy the past couple years, I've let it all go. Maybe I'll start again after I get married next year. Until then, I just won't have time!
Maybe I'll try to post some of what I did a long time ago, if anyone is interested.

This is really making me miss it . . .
