Dry brushed Cleo

Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 12 December 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

I draped a piece of red velvet over my sofa and tossed a candy up on the velvet. Cleo immediately pounced affording me this rather cool picture that I used Photoshop to dry brush it.

Pretty Cleo ... how does she like her new home?
The velvet took on a lovely texture with the dry brushing, as did Cleo!

You got photoshop?? When did you get it? This is a really cool image. Has an almost contemplative nature to it. How's the wrist? Loved your Christmas series... ;-) How about this snow, eh?! LOL!!

@amy: I've had Photoshop Elements 4 for several years and just recently got Elements 6 which is very superior to the 4, but I don't have the "big one" My wrist has gotten quite a bit better but there are still times when I have to baby it. The snow looks nice but sure isn't nice to drive in. Took me 65 minutes to drive to work Friday. A normal 25 minute drive.
