Max's Rustica has been a favourite from the first time I saw it. The before pic shows his talent, but not the warmth of both his creation and his personality.

| Before |
| And after |
The White Taj had a host of problems, including a badly distorted background. Not a major problem as I wanted to treat it to a digital watercolour treatment, but an annoyance as this doesn't always happen, it's one of those unpredictable hitches that occur and can include bars at the sides and down the middle of a picture. Most annoying for a perfectionist.

| Fractured and tiled water in the background and I didn't like the pink clouds as they didn't match up with the rest of the picture, also the messy background detracted from the central focus of the Taj itself, a wonderfully creative piece of SL architecture. |
| Treated to some watercolour, sketching and a few effects. |
The windmill was actually quite a clear picture, but the I wanted the main focus of attention to be on the windmill itself. I had some fun painting and then playing with the appearance of this one.
| This was fun to do and ArtRage makes painting a joy. |
I hope you enjoyed an inside look at part of the process. It's not my intention to persuade anyone they can't live without SL :) Second Life is not everyone's cup of tea. My main desire is to give credit, and yes, thanks, to the creators who have made SL the imaginative experience it is for those of us who do enjoy visiting and can count among their friends some of those creators. I have found overall that the artists and creators inside SL are very generous and helpful as well as a lot of fun to be around.
Comments are welcome.
To be continued. :)
