Ok so granted... some open up a blank/new document.....

In other words, you open up a blank doc in Photoshop, select a paintbrush from the tools palette, and using your mouse (ehhh) or a tablet with a stylus (yes!) you go to town.

but it is also possible to open up a photo/jpeg/bmp/tiff/gif and then apply a morph programm to create "art"

The above photograph/cartoon simply created by a program that cartoonizes your photo.
Sure you can create greater variance with different size brushes and altering their transparency and also their "blur".

I know its a new generation of "art"... Im just trying to open my mind to accept it!
Im an old school artist that starts with wood and canvas in a roll, then tubes of paint and hours of mental development of composition, layout, perspective, color and blend.

Just trying to understand,,,,,

suburbanpagan - Very impressed to hear you are creating these on a blank page - you have obviously mastered a "almost photographic" technique... Kudos to you!
