Pink and Yellow Autumn Leaves (Digital Woodcut)

This is the last of three related images of pink and yellow autumn leaves. The first image was the original photo that I took last week out at Long Hill Gardens, here in Beverly, MA. The second image was a posterized version of the original photo, which simplified shapes and heightened the colors. (See yesterday's post.) This version, the third, is a digital woodcut that I made from the posterized photo, using my Painter software. But the yellow on the leaves was replaced with white. I didn't want to increase the number of colors to try to get the yellow back in, so instead I added selective color overlays in pale yellow.
