Manchester-by-the-Sea (Posterized Photo)

This image began with a photo that I took a few weeks ago, on November 14. It was a beautiful afternoon. After a trip to the vet with the dog, we decided to take a very long and indirect way home and took a ride down Rt 127, a beautiful road which goes down the coast to Beverly. We stopped at Manchester-by-the-Sea and took a little walk by the harbor. The colors were astounding, so I took some pictures. Tonight I edited the original in Painter, using some cut and paste as well as digital pastel to cover up a couple of private homes. Then I used some selective posterizing. The composition is a bit quirky, but I like it. I think I would like to paint this scene sometime.
