2018 Summer Fun with Digital Pictures

Since my last report showing totals of raptors banded for the 2017 season, I have been busy converting some of my banding photos into digital paintings. These are not paintings in the traditional sense, but more like a fancy photo retouching as I do the actual painting using digital brushes guided by my mouse right over my photo files. Everything is done in the computer so there is no paper, no canvas, no paint and no mess. I hope you like them!
