Artist envy

Ever since nearly thirty years ago when I started learning how to digitally edit my photographs, I have had a kind of Artist Envy.

And thus I have tended to overindulge in digital manipulation, at least for a while. Often I'll check out what overuse does in order to turn it all down and use a little bit of the effect.

And, so, today I was trying to make the colour picture that this image came from look better. I took it this afternoon in a local park. I liked it but it needed something. In editing it, I used PSP's "Pencil Effect" to see what it could do. This is one result.

It really is a pointless sort of effect, at least as I have used it here.

I still like it.

But I'd like it better if I could draw such a picture with my own hand holding a pencil.
