A New Painting

Well...just finished this one. Its of a Meadow up North that I paint regularly. There is so much diversity and variation going on in this painting and thats what i wanted to show. Every leaf is different, every flower shape is individual, and although green is the common color... the hundreds of different subtle tones of green are what make this so interesting to me. (now on display at Mcnaught Gallery)
A good fall start

Well... just got back from up north and the painting was great. Lots of sketches, contrast and colors and more importantly lots of atmosphere. One of the pieces I did I liked in particular. Its the one shown here. I called it "Autumn Road" and I think it sums up my emotions towards this time of year. Long shadows, and a stunning variety of colors. I really loved painting this scene, especially standing in the wind and partial sun. Listening to the leaves rustle in the trees. I hope you get the same feeling from it. Its a smaller piece around 12 X 15.
