Hi Helen,

I used photos I took of leaves and berries to create this pattern. I played with filters to make the leaves less photo-like, but I think they still look too much like photos.  After creating the pattern, I found your class on making photos look like paintings.  I will play with that and make the individual leaves look like I painted them and make another pattern, but is there anything I can do to this particular pattern to make it look more painterly?  Also, any feedback on the pattern?  It's my first one that doesn't use simple geometric shapes.

Thanks so much!  I'm enjoying these classes!
