Here, above, is the painting that I started with.
This (above) is straight from the website making the aged photograph. Pretty cool, huh!!? And actually that's all you get from the website. Below is what I did in Photoshop.
Here is the piece that I ended up with. I sent it through this website. It's all in Japanese so you just have to guess what the buttons say! Well, actually I think "choose file" might be in English but the rest is in Japanese. Then I added some color with the brushes on the overlay setting in Photoshop and added my calligraphy of Psalm 100 with about 50% opacity. Then I used the overlay brush setting again to color in the Poppies because the aged photograph is more black and white-ish as you can see. I didn't plan to make this actually --it was just one of those serendipity things. I love those magical serendipitous things! Baby Marc is coming into town today so Nannie (that's me) is VERY EXCITED... and so very blessed....

Hi Martha,
I so love what you are doing these days.
My three grandgirls (I know it is not a word, but it is MY word) will be here for dinner tomorrow. They call me Nana, but the hubster gets them to call me Nana Banana, and they love it. They remind me that I am only teased because I am so loved.
