View of Mt Marcy - morphed greatly

Before there were digital cameras, if an artist wanted a certain scene with no branches obscuring the mountains, no problem - just paint a picture and leave out those branches. The photographer had no such easy way out. I could not get a good shot of Marcy from this spot - so I had to do a pastel painting [based on a poor photo].

 

Then came digital cameras! And photo editing programs! So I took the poor photo and digitally removed the offending branches [see previous picture].

 

But I still had the pastel painting - and here, I have painted it digitally with a watercolor effect. Morph, morph, morph!
