December Title - "Merry Christmas"

How I did it -

First I watched Julieanne’s teaching as Ruth suggested, then I down load Christmas Doodles brushes on line. My Christmas street light photo is painted with brushes in different layer using Photoshop CS3. Some of brushes are used with smudge tool and others used clone tool. Finally layers are flattened and image is resized.

Carole Kropscot	The roof definitely looks like it is hand painted. I like the Christmas lights sprinkled throughout it. The rest of the picture doesn't look painted. In my own image this month I forgot to paint the teddy bear, and I didn't realize it until just now! As a photographer, it was hard for me to mess up the sharpness of the photo!

Ruth Rittichier	Good painting effect on the roof lines.  But why did you stop there?  It looks more like a photo than a painting.  But at least you got some experience painting in Photoshop.
Walter Ross	I like the total composition of your image. I think I would have added a border to the image.
