You know what’s depressing? Discovering a 99-cent piece of software that applies an effect to photographs that I’ve spent the last two decades of my life perfecting with paint and brush on canvas.
A friend of mine remarked that the finished products are similar, but lack the life and sparkle of my paintings. Agreed. But still…
I guess I should really consider it a blessing in disguise; I can apply the effect to the photograph I want to work from before I start painting and then use that as a guide as to where to make the tone differentiations in the painting (the hardest part of my whole process).

Clever technique, but not art in and by itself…
It becomes ‘ART’ as soon as someone says it is. I say ART.
Bro, what app is it? (Couldn’t resist the “bro”. I just watched that video you posted.)
