Roses Are Everywhere (Posterized Photo)


Roses Are Everywhere (Posterized Photo)

This image began as a picture taken on February 14th with my phonecam. I went to the grocery store on an errand and there were roses everywhere, so I took a photo. Later I cropped the image and posterized it in Painter IX. But I didn't like the background in the lower left corner; it was plain white, and seemed distracting. So tonight I opened the image in Painter IX and drew into the area with digital pastel, then posterized that corner again. Well, that is a lot of trouble for grocery store roses. But it is good to remember that roses are everywhere, if we just stop to look for them, and they are definitely worth our time and attention!
