I'm going to post a recent painting followed by a series of posts with variations done using some Topaz user created effects. First time I have used Topaz and there are some interesting possibilities. Looks like the program is aimed at photographers looking to enhance/manipulate photos, but using an artistic image to start and then applying various artsy effects brings up some new looks. I'd say about 1 in 30 of the effects produces "believable" artistic results, but a few show promise.

Al glad you posted these as I have been using Topaz as a finishing step on occasion, less currently but I sure had fun with it. And it is great to see one work and some of the variations. As digital artists we are just getting better
and better range of tools and options like AR + Topaz... I like the Batik and the Expressionism...

Interesting effects! I think I like the Batik one the most.
