Wow, the last week has really flown by. Seems like every moment has been consumed by getting my son through these last couple of weeks of school. I had hoped to get out and do more shooting, but this week was pretty slow from a photographic point of view. But I wanted to participate in Photo Art Friday and the black and white challenge.
I found it more challenging than a lot of the other photo art I've done. I didn't want to go abstract but I certainly wanted it to look like I'd done more than desaturated the color. There are a lot of layers in this piece with a lot of tweaking and masking. I used a couple of textures that were desaturated but I also used some art filters in photoshop to enhance the outline of the subject and mute the background. I'm looking forward to seeing what the other artists have been able to create.
I hope you'll visit Photo Art Friday and enjoy the fabulous work shared there.

Interesting effect - like a painting!
Wonderful! Love your subject material and the processing really makes it look like a painting.
