I am in Ohio for my mom's knee replacement surgery. As we drove to the hospital this morning, the early morning light was bathing the autumn landscape in gold! Taking a few reference photos, I then sketched a few paintings out on rice paper while my mom rested between therapy sessions. This painting is from their side yard - with the sun lighting the golden leaves and grass alike! Later, while she and my dad were napping, I painted them with the small watercolor palette that I take with me when plein air painting. I forgot my water container and used one of the pill cups for my water! I was able to paint the first two layers on, and wax, paint, iron, and paint again when I got back to their house. This was a good use of time - because I HAD to watch the World Series game with my hometown boys playing (the Royals!!) - and this kept my hands busy! This is painting number 669 in as many days - and boy do I hope we win!!
It's lovely! I think this technique was perfect for representing the early morning light through the trees. Good job!
