autumn


Fall has inspired me again. The colors and shadows, the light playing off of shifting leaves, the crisp sky. I've also been wanting to capture a sense of quietness and solitude with long, horizontal panoramas. So I've used the colors of autumn, a combination of wet-on-wet and dry brush details, and cropped the painting with a long and narrow, horizontal mat. The painting itself is 4x10 inches.
