Happy April everybody!  My little eyes are tired from making this month’s background, but I had lots of fun:

April 2013 Desktop Calendar Background (small file)

I took this photo on my way to the Temescal Farmer’s market a couple of Sundays ago.  It was around 8:30am, and there’s nothing quite like a quiet city street on a Sunday morning.

In Photoshop, I painted over the picture with solid shapes, matching or exaggerating the color.

Just for fun, here’s what the image looks like with only the shapes I painted:

This might actually be way cooler.  Hmm.  Maybe I’ll make this into a calendar and update the post soon.  Until then, enjoy and feel free to share.  Thanks for stopping by!
