Thanks, Scott. It's definitely Southern Gothic. I tried it several different ways. Had another layer of watercolor over it-got both developed and decided to use just the b&w/color effects for the contest, even though the extra layer of watercolor over it didn't look too bad. Love the effect it gave the trees. Wish I could have figured out how to just do the tree, bushes that way only and leave the rest the way it was. I learn something new each time I use Photoshop.

"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek
