Photo Art Friday - October 26, 2012

If you've stopped in for Rural Thursday click on the link. I've featured some gorgeous Autumn foliage there.



It's now time however to pop on over with me to Pixel Dust Photo Art for Photo Art Friday.









This week's optional theme was (Derelict) When I saw the theme I immediately thought of this photo that I took of a barn (or what use to be a barn) while out on a little drive a week or so ago.


I used one of Bonnie's textures: Vintage Vellum
 to add the aged look I was going for in my piece. I erased some of the texture from the sky before I uploaded it from Pic Monkey to Pixlr-O-Matic.





Then I added one of the effects there which added a different tone to the sky that I liked and I added the Grunge Frame there as well. Then back to Pic Monkey for the simple frame and voila~ I was done.

Here is the Original Photo:




Here is my finished piece:



Be sure to stop by Bonnie's blog and check out the other participants entries.  You won't be disappointed.
