Trixie Fox taking a break from her cubs…
Topaz AI photo…cropped and enlarged Trixie`s photo…
Topaz fx labs I put Trixie into Flowers in the rockery…A stock photo from Jai art at Zenfolio….
Painted Trixie in the Procreate app on my iPad Pro….
Busy in the woods with four foxes racing around last night…this was 1.30am when I think their energy levels are highest…..Fun to watch them interacting with each other as our dogs just stand and watch the happenings…❤️🦊❤️
White Peacock…
A stock photo from Jaiart at Zenfolio….
Topaz photo AI to enhance a little…
Topaz fx labs to merge the peacock into DT WW BLOOMS 7….
Topaz reflector gold used lightly on the top of the image…
Had two days of rain and the garden is happy…hopefully it will be sunny tomorrow…
Decided to plant my dahlia and begonia and just pray we don’t have a surprise frosty night…
Seeds will be next…although the poppies seeded themselves well last year and I am happy they are popping up all over…
Thank you for your kind words and votes…
Can’t believe the weekend is almost here again…🥰
A local swan…
Always a lovely sight to see especially when just on the waters edge…This one didn’t even move when our dogs were fussing around it…
Topaz photo AI to crop the photo and then enlarge…
In Topaz fx labs I put the swan into Spectrum turquoise 2 and WW blooms 1…liked the way the textures worked together…
Played with Niks filters…and here is the result….
Hope you have a great week…we have had full sun every day, getting warmer and daylight is with us until after 10pm…
Two weeks ago the garden plants and bulbs were just peeping through the earth but now the tulips have started to bloom and the perennials are growing like they are on steroids…love this time of year…
Thank you all for your visits,kind words and votes…

Willow the English fox…
A fox called Willow…
Have been making art for my friend Lin with her fox photos…
First of all I cropped the photo and removed the noise in Topaz Photo AI…..
I applied Willow to Daily Texture Winter Ivy background in Topaz fx labs and then used Reflector in Topaz Lens effects…
In Topaz Studio I used look with my preset…
I then painted Willow in the Procreate app on my iPad Pro….
I never tire of doing foxy art and am happy to do some for my friend Lin in England…she has a few foxy visitors that she feeds in her garden…my foxy friends are nocturnal in winter so no photos for a few weeks yet…
Bear in the snow…
Brown bear who lives in Skansen Nature Park, Stockholm….
Topaz fx labs…applied a Daily Texture from background March 2020…
Topaz Lens effects…Reflector silver top….
Topaz Studio 2 basic adjustments…
Painted the bear in Procreate on my iPad with Jai’s smooth brush and Linda’s hair brush…
We are almost knee deep in snow …on Wednesday there were no buses running anywhere in the Stockholm area until almost 6pm and then only 3 routes….the snow plough didn’t clear our road until 9.30pm and in the morning Peter had to dig us out when he opened the door the snow was knee hig…big drifts everywhere as it was very windy in fact blizzard conditions in the night…Really difficult to get up to the woods to feed the foxes each evening but with determination I managed it….couldn’t let them go hungry in these weather conditions….
Hope you all enjoy your weekend and thank you for your lovely comments and votes…
Take care….
Look who has come for lunch…
I placed my squirrel photo on this beautiful background I got from Daily Texture …
First of all I cropped my photo and used Topaz Photo AI to denoise….
In Topaz fx labs I added my squirrel to the background and uses
Topaz lens effects gold top to brighten the squirrel a little…
The lone wolf….
One of my wolf photos taken at Skansen Nature Park in Stockholm…
I put him in a Daily Texture background in Topaz fx Labs….
Applies Topaz photo AI to enhance and give a little more detail to the wolf…
Wolf painted in the Procreate app on my iPad Pro….
Making friends…
Good evening….happy to be back after Peter and I had a nasty virus since the 20th January…..Great to be doing my artwork again…
Making friends…

Daily Texture….Fancy old birdhouse….Harvest moon and Forrest meadow…
