new! painting-- and fun with photoshop

In painting news, below is the painting I'm currently working on (seen through a photoshop filter, to sort of hide the rough & unfinished patches..) I believe it turned a corner yesterday, and is headed down the slope towards completion.

I always seem to like how paintings look when in this photoshop mode--, and find it can be useful to help see the overall pattern of the composition and its contrasts. Here are the 'watercolor' and 'palette knife' filters.
