Graphics Challenge #67. This week our theme is Something From Nothing. The idea is to start with
a blank canvas and create a scene or image using only the tools native to your program.

Using Corel Painter, I started with a blank blue canvas, used various
Oil and Chalk brushes to make the background. Then working with layers
I used Distort, Tonal Control and Apply Lighting to get the final background. The
Image Hose was used to add the palm trees and the birds.

NOTE: The name for this image was suggested by
Misha (misha77 [mishasan1]), another frequent
submitter to About's graphic challenges.
Thank You Misha!
