This morning, I looked through family photo albums and found a snapshot to use as a reference for my next painting. (I am working on a series of mountain paintings from family snapshots from trips to Colorado.) On the back of this one, I had written "Loveland Pass, July", and barely visible in the corner was a watermark giving the date as August 1978 (the date the photo was developed.) This was from a trip to Colorado with the kids. Today scanned the photo into the computer, cleaned it up with the retouching tool, and adjusted the color to remove a pink cast. I straightened it just a bit. I thought about cropping it, but decided to leave it as it is.
