The image above plus the smaller one on the left were both created from start to finish using only one computer graphics program - it was a long time ago, but I think it was Corel PhotoPaint 5.0
It has definitely been the program I have used the most.
I certainly enjoyed using the "smear" tool a lot in this image, plus the "blend" tool.   F.B.
Computer Images
This archway image is a study done on the computer using Painter 5.5 (a program I got free with a magazine, and boy is it powerful!)
It's been an interesting learning experience, and I hope will result in a rather nice oil later on.  Currently I'm involved with a fantasy picture done all in blues.  I hope to be able to upload that later on, other work permitting.  

This Archway, was inspired by a mock travel brochure from Thomas Cooks.  It involved tours of many different planets beginning on the moon and ending on a strange planet with a crumbling archway.  My image is nothing like theirs though, but I rather like it.  FB
