Welcome back to Mandarin Orange Monday. Once again I had a lot of fun seeing what you had all created this week. I have to apologise, again, for not being able to return all your comments this week. Not only have I been ill with the dreaded “bug” but I have had extra responsibilities.
This week I have used one of my paintings – acrylics on canvas – which I did a couple of years ago. Being a painting of a cat, and a very colourful one too, it has been a favourite of my grandson’s. When he is older (he is only three) perhaps he might like it for his bedroom wall. But I will wait until asked….. The cat portrayed is Clarence. I had fun making him a psychedelic Clarence when I painted him . Today I had just as much fun transforming him digitally. I have included the original photograph – I think it was taken with my old Nokia phone.

Wow – love the painterly and etched effects you got on your kitty. Just amazing what you can do. Hope you're feeling better. xoxo
What a character to play with! And you have created so many delightful variations. I particularly like how several of them look as if they could have been painted by Van Gogh.
