Digital prints

Before closing my image editor (Pixelmator) I tried applying different filters and effects to the photo of the watercolour painting in my last blogpost. It is quite easy to come up with interesting effects that could be reproduced as prints (see below). It is almost too easy, but I guess the original work went into the drawing and painting, and there is some skill in judging when a digital image looks 'good'. Maybe you don't think this looks 'good' (I like artists like Georges Rouault). For myself I would be happier using this as a starting point for another painting rather than using the digital print, but perhaps this is an outmoded way of thinking?
