I digitally hand paint every single image, spending many hours on each piece until it is just right. It is this painstaking technique that transforms your digital image from just a picture to a truly unique <i>work of art</i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2202655778066498722-2924315386570195918?l=paintedtreasures.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Romanceaholicnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202655778066498722.post-73724424103923995592008-08-08T19:16:00.001-04:002008-08-14T23:19:32.604-04:00Here's my newest creation!
