Betsy at Amicalola Falls, Georgia. March 9, 2011.
Betsy usually doesn’t like me to take pictures of her. She doesn’t realize how beautiful her smile truly is. But I think even Betsy can appreciate the ‘drawing’ of her shown above. It shows Betsy along the lower part of Amicalola Falls back on March 9.
I’m not an artist, but I did create this ‘work of art’. Scott, in his wonderful photo blog Finding Another View, had a post about changing a photo into a line drawing using Photoshop. He said it was easy, and it must be because I got it to work for me.
This is the picture I took of Betsy and which is the basis for the line drawing (don’t tell her I posted the picture as well). I can’t say I like it any less than the ‘drawing’. I’m just glad they both show that million-dollar smile.

You’re becoming artistic, George!! The drawing is very cool and fun, but I like the real Betsy best! It’s nice to compare, though, as well.

George: Oh so nicely captured and shown.

Well done George. Both of them are great joy for eyes. Some years ago I tried also with same kind of experiment, but in black.
Thank You for this post, it was so lovely.

George, I know that you have to take a great deal of the responsibility for the great smile on Betsy’s face!

That line drawing is really, really nice. I have used it a few times playing around but think I must have chosen the wrong picture because I have never liked any as much as I like this.

that is really neat! I’ll have to try that. 🙂 I notice that Betsy always has a smile. 🙂
