Mackinac Island c. 1890 Black & White Study

This is a Photoshopped image of a sketch I did for a series on Northern Michigan. The completed painting is in mt Miniatures gallery. I had just purchased my first Mac and was trying to see what sort of wondrous things I could accomplish with digital imaging software. I was attempting to block in the positive space with Photoshop. I accidentally came across it after having lost it for about eight years on my hard drive I thought it had sufficient intrinsic artistic merit to post it and share it with all of you. Hope you enjoy it.

it's fun to play in Photoshop - i like the half-done effect

Great job, Stanton! Architectural subjects always pose a distinct challenge and you have met it and conquered it! :-)
