Another family photo but of whom I do not know. The interesting thing about the photo was the painted, pastoral background which seemed oddly out of place with the severe pose on a straight-backed wooden chair. I liked the painted background, so I decided to extend the pastoral scene. To do that, I took a watercolor that looked much like the background and, through masking, added it to the photo. Then I made a composite of the new image and masked that. The rest was just adding the paper texture up top and building the twig cluster. Since I don't know anything about this man, I kept to the pastoral theme and added the quote from Henry David Thoreau.
