Inspiration can come at any moment, and to me it is like a dog seeing a squirrel. LOL. This morning my friend Bill Cronk posted a series of ICM images. There were some great colors in them. There was one that had some soft pastels that I liked, so I decided to play with it without his knowledge. Bad me! I showed it to him and he has coerced me into posting it. LOL. He also wanted me to explain my steps. This was done in GIMP with the GMIC filter pack preinstalled. My steps were 1) scaling up the image [GIMP tool], 2) giving it a crank up on the saturation [GIMP tool], 3) apply Artistic > Blockism filter [GMIC], 4) apply GIMP Filter > Artistic > Cartoon, and 5) apply Artistic > Dream smoothing filter [GMIC] to finish it off.
