Digitally altered Photographs

I like things Black and white, it is something a little different in today's world of all color. Normally I do Graphite's/charcoal or Pen and Ink to get my Black and White fix and rare times I will take a Black and white photograph.
Here is something just a little different I have been working on for awhile. Is a Photograph I took of Theia, digitally painted, adjusted and altered into a Black and White painting close up of a Miniature horse.

This is a Photograph I took of Maggie, adjusted and altered into a Black and White close up of my Miniature horse located on my NW Oregon Farm.

Both of these photo creations are just a little bit different from each other and so much fun to do.
Enjoy!
