Patsy, as you may recall, is a Jacob x Barbado sheep ewe. She has 5 horns, although in this picture you can only see 3 horns clearly. Even though it is spring we still have a foot (or more) of snow here, and not much can be done outside, so I thought I would take a picture of Patsy and do some photo manipulation work to it using a program called Corel Photo-Paint 8.
Here is the original photo of Patsy sheep.
This is not a great picture, she is at a funny angle, there are the legs of another sheep in the background, and the upper corners are bright and distracting. As such it is a good photo to have fun with and turn into some art.
Photos, of course, are copyright owned by myself, not for reproduction!
I first had to add some color to the white parts in the background, and blur out the pair of legs. I also had to make Patsy's eye darker so it would not be lost in the art rendition.
I came up with several images, this is just one. Here I used a program called Fractalius.
If you would like to see the other images (including one where she looks more like a rug), and the steps used to get this image, you can see the full link called
