My brother came across this photo of our dad before WWII when he was in the Navy. He looked like a happy-go-lucky guy. I’m envious of that convertible!
Text Reads: Chuck Wolf, Bremerton, before going into the Navy, 1942
Construction: I started with the Rhapsody Artsy Paper #3. I added a Color Fill Adjustment at blend mode Color and Opacity 37% giving the paper a more brown tone to better match my photo.
The photo was back and white so I colorized it with Photoshop’s Neural Filter. I added an Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to tone down the greens. I also used Photoshop Beta’s AI to generate feet for my dad since the photo had them cutoff.
I added parts of the Summer Template Album No 1 #5 to use various layers and the fotoblendz, to which I attached my photo.
I then added numerous Rhapsody paint, brushes and transfers filling in areas of the canvas.
For the cluster, I used Music WordART Cluster No 1 # 3. I added the palette’s lp record (cutting out the hole larger to make it look like a 45 rpm), twill ribbon, Lined Word and the button, along with “The Best” from the palette Et Voila and the Summer Days palette’s brad #3. The UrbanThreadz are from the template and I added MultiMedia Frames No 8 #4’s heart button in the lower right corner.
