Today I was looking through my photographs of Colorado, and I found a picture that I took a few years ago, during a ride down to Pueblo. I am not sure of the exact location, but it is certainly between Colorado Springs and Pueblo, not too far from Pinon. This is the landscape in which I grew up. Well, tonight I decided to use Painter to posterize the original photograph. I often have problems when I posterize a photo of a landscape because if I do enough posterizing of the land to make things interesting, then the sky becomes too distorted. But on this one, I used the selection tool so I could posterize the sky at a different level than the land. (Have I learned something new, after all this time!) Anyway, here is my image for today: the landscape of home, softened by memory.

This image began with an old family photo, a picture taken of my parents on their wedding day, April 4, 1943. My father was stationed in Pueblo, and met my mother at a USO dance on the base. They were married a few months later, before he left to go overseas. Last night I used iPhoto to do some basic editing (cleaning up stray marks, straightening, and cropping). Then I opened the image in Painter. I colorized the image with a combination of color overlay and digital pastel, and then posterized it. I invented the colors (have no idea if my mother wore pink that day). What I was after was the feeling I get when I look at these old photos: familiar images, modified by the softness of memory, the patina of time.
