I live in the city now, but I lived on a farm once and loved it. I know you must be an optimist and always Hopeful to be a farmer. If you lose that, you lose the ability to carry on.

This is my photo that I changed to a Black & White painting using Waterlogue Pro. I overlaid the papers with the color painting version using Soft Light blending and 82% Fill.

Construction: The foundation paper is vrd-artful-expressions-01-papers-21. I placed vrd-just-for-today-paper-06 over the top with blend mode Multiply, Fill 70% and an adjustment to the Hue/Saturation.
I used several brushes from vrd-feb-2022-stamp-sampler-02.
Elements and frame-group are from vrobinson-ps-i-love-you-elements-add-on.
The “Hopeful” text is from vrd-2022-02-challenge-story-starters and “always” is font Trattatello
