The stories that they tell,
Oh, city streets,
They can be heaven, they can be hell”
City Streets, Carole King
I cropped my original and used Fotosketcher to apply the painterly technique, then used Photoscape to adjust the colours to my liking. This is the original …
Beyond the Brush 
Reminds me of a Van Gogh picture. Nice.

Love Carole King! It’s so amazing to see all the music lovers and what music everyone likes Lynne. Also the fact that most of them are my favourites as well. 😀
