Instagram inspires and creates instant paintings

Crooklets Beach, Bude. Wondering how long the blue sky will stay.

The two above images were both created using Instagram. It is a lovely app which works with both iphones and android. It crops your photo and lets you put a filter on it as above to create different effects. The real beauty is that you can share it so quickly via email, twitter, messaging, facebook and of course WordPress!

The effects created emphasis the contrast and give the colour a real painterly effect which will greatly help when I turn these two into paintings.
