oil-stained sunset

The result of mixing a 2-year old sunset as seen from our carport, with a textured layer (an image taken today of the oil-stained floor of that same carport), and my new logo on top.

I think I will use textures more in my post processing -- definitely for fine art, but I would like to also create some people-friendly ones; stay tuned.

Here is one of my favorite images, taken this glorious sunny afternoon ~ you'll see what I mean:
