Description
This is my very first humble attempt at the grunge thing!!!! I am really sticking my neck out here to place it next to amazing images from Shari, Piet and many other artists!!! Well, there always has to be a first!! LOL...
Thank you Shari for your tutorial and Piet for talking me through some of the techniques!! You guys rock!
The title and image so perfectly reflect my mood today as I am trying to work through some huge frustrations... At least my granddaughter is coming to spend the day, so that should help me forget the crap for a while!
Thank you for popping in and for your very valued comments and favs on my previous upload!
Hugs, Carin xx

I like it! this is an absolutely wonderful image that you've done! I do hope that your mood improves! You should do more of these types of images!
Nicely done! I'm still fiddling around with this, trying to decide ... I like the choices you've made here! Excellent work.
love it.... i really love it :D
I'm still not sure about this technique! I come from the 'tight and sharp' brigade, and it's taken me ages to get to grips with adventurous postwork. We'll see.
Spooky
A really excellent image Carin. Beautiful result. May there come a solution for your frustrations so they go away. Have a great time with your Gr. Daughter :)
Amazing Image.. Well done
A lovely piece of work Carin, I have no idea how you do this! I do like it very much.
Excellent work and perfect realisation
A wonderful composition!!
The perfection of art in this wonderful compo!!! Excellent!!! V
Humble? Whats humble about this? Its beautiful! Great piece of work... looks like I have to phone you to guide me through it as well?? enjoy the day with Kyla!
Straight out the vaults of the Metropolitan Police Scotland Yard archives, they were all about an unidentified serial killer, a little known chap by the name of Jack the Ripper, you did well for a first crack of the whip my friend! This would make a top background for a Ripperologist web site, I should know, I am a Ripperologist, and have visited a few :D
It is fun to fiddle with. By chance, I just did my first one yesterday too. Think I will do my next one using a layer mask to keep my subject from being grunged.
Beautiful work!
You got it just fine; this is great. I feel a new itch coming on!!
That is great, Carin! Wonderful tones and textures, ... all you needed was a crow sitting atop the lamp post!
A so amazing image!
Fantastic work :)
You did well, Carin; this is a wonderful moody image!
wonderful !!!
Wow, this is masterful! YOU FIRST attempt? Great work, I love the simplicity, clean lines and, of course, the grunge.
Well, even after having seen the preliminary attempts, this is stunning and deserves a second glance in this art form. I think your ultimate choice of which areas to leave ungrunged is excellent. Keep up the good work, I would love to see more.
Oh Carin! this is soooooo BEAUTIFUL!!! First attempt, and this is what you pull off!!?? You catch on so quickly ... good for you! Keep it up; it's so fun and I just love the effect! :) P.s. (((hug))) to you. Just cuz it sounds like you could use one. :)
amazing and i do love it...
great work!!!!!!
This turned out so great. I love how the background texture can be seen through the glass of the lamp.
Excellent Work!!!
Carin you succeeded beautifully, and as for the atmosphere, well this scene has it in bucket fulls, very well done dear friend. hugs Jane xx
Oh, that's how grunge is supposed to look! That is simply stunning, Carin! You really hit the nail on the head with your first attempt. I'd better reassess my strategy and try to come up with something more deserving of the name in my concepts. And,your title perfectly describes the past month vis-a-vis my health and family relationships.
