Description
It's a glorious August day ... and you're visiting one of the premier mansions that can be found in the United States. Beautiful Winterthur, the former home of the DuPont family, located near Wilmington, Delaware, boasts not only magnificent architectural features but gardens to delight the eye and the heart. The gentle sunlight filtering through the leaves of the trees falls on the columns and French doors and magnificent balcony of the home in such a way that makes you long to return to the glory days of the home's past.
The good news is, the home and gardens are open to the public ... you can take an interesting guided tour of both ... and spend some time roaming around the grounds on your own as well. A beautiful way to spend the day!!
Original photographic image taken with the Nikon D7000 and the 18-200mm vr Nikkor lens in August of 2014. A bit of editing in Adobe Camera Raw, Photoshop CS6 and a complete digital hand-painting with tablet and stylus in Corel Painter 2015. Back to Photoshop CS5 for the addition of a hint of an old favorite texture from Jerry Jones of Shadow House Creations.
