I know; a bit early. Today's the last of my vaca days. Have to pull another 2 14 hours this upcoming weekend (and of course I still have to work a day on my part-time job as well). Thursday, will be family day for me; heading to my sister's house and all of my siblings will be there. Hope you all have an enjoyable Thanksgiving (if you celebrate that that is) and Christmas season.

OK; a bonus that I'm only going to post here. Below's what I originally was going to share, but was not quite happy with it. lol

Great Lyle and your second one is just as good

Thanks, Sallyanne; pretty much, today's my last free day. Tomorrow I work my PT job and Thursday, I have drive over 360 miles round trip to my Sis' house and back, then, my full time job demands me. lol

Hope you and all here at GIMPChat have a great week.

She wants a good gift from her baby, aye, victorlinux? lolololol

Lyle, You ace the painting look so I'm loving the second one, they are both great

Thanks, T; the strokes were created using lylejk stencil followed by anisotrophic smoothing (both G'MIC presets). Need to use low value (0.5 to 0.8) for lylejk stencil to keet the stroke brush spacing close to each other. The actual painting was done thanks to FotoSketcher (i.e, outside of GIMP, so cheated; lol). Problem with FS is it doesn't do the stroking texture like I would like, so follow it the the G'MIC magic and voila.
