If you want to create a moody work of art, then this next Daily Texture in the brushstrokes collection might be one to choose.  Filled with the deep colors of a gray and blue stormy day and highlighted with the warm glow of the sun peeking through, it will definitely help to create a piece of art full of dynamic energy.  I paired this texture with this photo I took of a bald eagle flying in the rain.  Since the sky behind the eagle was a light gray and I wanted to keep the raindrops showing on his feathers, I decided to not do any masking on this piece.  Instead, I placed the texture on top in multiply layer mode at 50%, and the placed a duplicate layer of the texture on top again, and set it to overlay at 100%.  Because his background was smooth and all one color, everything blended perfectly using these layer modes.
