Fall Colour 8
5"X7" Acrylic on board
Well we are nearly done with Fall. The reference photo was taken a couple of weeks ago but there are still leaves on some of the trees.
There is a big maple on the corner by our house that still has about 95% of its leaves, some of them are still green. It is always one of the last to drop and one reason why we end up doing much of our raking in the Spring. Last year the weather got really crummy before we could get any raking done. At least the boys have filled 25 bags already this year, we will probably fill as many again, one of the disadvantages of living on one of the leafiest corners in Canada.
Great feel to this painting.The foreground leaves are great... one can feel the crunch of the leaves and the little flurry of movement in the breeze. I find these colorful autumn scenes difficult. This works really well. I see you went with acrylics in this one..your comfort zone? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Catherine, I find I am becoming more and more comfortable with acrylics. I still miss the texture and blendability of the oils but I do find that for these little alla prima pieces it is much easier to prevent the colours from becoming muddy.
