"Horseplay" Digital Illustration for Bits and Pieces Puzzle Company

     Lately I've been having a great time painting digitally in photoshop.   Based on requests from one of the artist reps I work with,  I've been creating traditional scenes of birds, animals, and holiday themes.   Painting on canvas with a brush is something I used to do many years ago and I've missed it.   Now, in Photoshop, I'm finding that same freedom I enjoyed on canvas, only with an "undo" feature that acrylics and oils never offered me.  Plus there are all sorts of tricks and enhancements that can be added that would have been a huge challenge with a real paint brush.   It's really nice to have a  computer counterpart that paints along with me and is ready to make some hi-tech corrections when my feeble human skills veer off in the wrong direction.  It's also come in due time since my late-40s eyes are starting to give in.  (Thank you magnifying tool!)
     In spite of my many attempts to do "cool" art over the years,  my inner gravitational pull seems to always steer me back to happy and cute scenes.  It's just who I am and I've decided to start owning it!
