Watercolor "paintings"

One of my recent obsessions was creating watercolor "paintings" using Adobe Photoshop. It started with a photo I took of a kalachuchi flower that turned out to be out of focus. (Sigh!) In order to salvage the photo, I thought of turning it into a painting and was pretty much pleased with the results.
After that I thought I'd do the same thing with some photos my sister and I took. Here just a couple of my favorites: a) a pathway at the National University of Singapore andb) a gallery in the Vatican Museum.For the photo of the Vatican Museum, I had to apply a ripple filter so that edges wouldn't be perfectly straight.
