Critters with Painter Effects

This week has been so busy I didn't take many pictures of animals or birds. I did grab a picture of a stray kitty who hangs out at the community entrance, where he gets fed by people who feed the ducks. I think he may also get treats from a soft-hearted neighbor.

Linkups: Caturday / Saturday Critters

Since I've been trying to get familiar with Painter Essentials, I added a watercolor filter to the cat. 

The rest of today's images are from my archives. I modified them in Painter using different effects. The goldfinch looks delicate with a watercolor effect, which I darkened.

Most of the filters I tried on the flying geese gave them a white halo. Does that bother you?  I started over and worked from the toolbar.


Last of all, a squirrel.

  1. Very pretty artwork. The cat seems a wise one, and the squirrel all too friendly as is their want. We prefer to chase them than admire. I think the bird images are a delight, and I think we prefer the finch.

  2. I use a similar program on photos sometimes when I'm bored. As you describe the effects can be both good and not so good.
