I went a little crazy creating today’s art for Athena’s Caturday Art blog hop. All the changes to the photo were made using Picasa, which is the program I use for my everyday photo editing. I started by inverting the colors (which gave me the lavenders and blues), and then I applied several other filters as well as the border.
The original photo, which you can see below, is one of my favorite photos of our sweet Mac. I always teased that MacKenzie was tied to my apron strings as he followed be everywhere. And he never meowed. He made a baaing noise like an itty-bitty lamb.
The original photo was taken in September 2011. Mac passed away from inoperable cancer a little more than a month later.

Mac was very handsome. Those are lovely colours.
Oh my! It looks fluorescent! You should look into some of the photo art memes. I have a few friends who do them. They are a challenge. You are good at this!
Oh we love that so many are now having fun with “cat art” on Caturday! Mac is a beautiful ginger and we know you miss him, but what a beautiful piece of art you created today.
Great affects!
