Last Look at Summer

Last Look at Summer   (Originally uploaded by randubnick)

Well, it is even colder today, and another big snow storm is predicted for tomorrow.  So I think it is time for one more look back at summer.  This is another digital woodcut that I made tonight with my Painter program.  I used another photograph that I took last summer during a walk at the Cummings Center.  The roses are just a bit past their prime, but I think that works with the theme of memory, nostalgia, and the passage of time.  I used a little color overlay on this one.  I did have trouble deciding where to crop.  A closer crop would probably be a more traditional way to frame the roses, but I didn't want to lose the complications of the leaves.
