Lots to do!

Some of you asked how I did the angel.
I took this picture from a garden catalog and put it into my photoshop.
I added colors, paint and textures using P S filters and brushes.
Basically I just played. I am self taught on P S and only have explored the painting aspects of the program.

We were given the image and I drew the table and flowers.
