Grasses in the Snow (Digital Woodcut)

Grasses in the Snow (Digital Woodcut)   Originally uploaded by randubnick

Two days ago, I posted a photographic image of snow and grasses, cropped from a picture I took at Long Hill Gardens, here in Beverly, during a recent walk.  At the time, I was admiring the lines of the grasses against the snow.  I decided to see what the photo would look like as a digital woodcut, so I used Painter to create this image. Like everyone else, I complain about winter, the cold, the leafless trees; but if it weren't for winter, it would be easy to overlook the lines of the bare branches, and the simple lines of the grasses against the snow.
