Tree Leafing Out in Newburyport (Posterized)


Tree Leafing Out in Newburyport (Posterized)

This image began with a photo taken last week during an excursion to Newburyport, Massachusetts.  I was sitting in my car in a parking lot, almost ready to leave.  I noticed a tree leaving out, and I liked the contrast with the brick building (typical Newburyport architecture), so I took a quick picture.  Later I noticed that the tree was festooned with electric light bulbs and wire.  So tonight I opened the image in Painter and used digital pastel to restore the tree to its natural state.  I also cleaned up the window a bit, then posterized the image, cropped it, and here it is.
