Walking on Water

“Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.”

—Saint Augustine of Hippo—

Alright, so he wasn’t really walking on water, but it was fun to watch this man paddle past the surfers who were sitting on their boards—waiting for the perfect wave. It reminded me of that quote; “If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to it.”

On another note—I’ve had to add texture to several of the black and white images I’ve done lately. There are strange lines in them when I see them on a cellphone. It usually happens in the area where there is sky. It looks a bit like what you would see when you use image trace on illustrator to create a vector graphic.

I thought I’d throw that out and see if anyone knows why this happens or how it can be avoided. I’m wondering if it’s from adding too much luminosity, or from making the sky too dark? I don’t know.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer that question. If all else fails, I’ll google it. 🙂

Have a great week!
—Janet

    Strange lines? If it is in the sky it may be “banding”
