Google Art and Painting with Picasa


What fun I'm having now - just playing with Picasa...I'm really trying all kinds of crazy effects while superimposing random pictures over each other.  if you're enjoying an inside day instead of shoveling snow or need a break from shoveling snow or don't feel like walking on the icy roads then maybe you'd have fun painting too.  I've got a smile on my face today!
This is a painting from the Louvre superimposed over a photo of the stained glass dome of the Galleries Lafayette. 
And if on this winter day in February you feel like taking a trip why not visit one of the great 
Likely you've already heard of the Google Art Project. It's a wonderful place to take a wander and marvel at the art of the world's masters. 
Be sure to click on the fascinating videos in the "Learn More" links.
Enjoy your visits.  It's a good way to travel on a winter day...

    What fun! I'm looking forward to finding the free time to 'play' over at Picasa...but not really seeing it happening anytime soon. I love the clouds in your header.

    Learning how to manipulate my photos is on my to-do list. You're light years ahead of me. Beautiful end results. Thanks for sharing.

    I haven't tried to manipulate photos this way in Picasa --it looks like fun! The first photo looks like a wonderful Impressionist watercolor.

    I have heard of the Google Art Project. It's such a wonderful idea!
