Caretaker's House in Autumn

I have wanted to paint in this cemetery ever since we got stuck inside it's 27 acres trying to exit the Royal's World Series parade!  All those rolling hills surrounded by a tall iron fence with only one way in and out.  The autumn color is just beginning, with reds popping behind the caretaker's house.  After drawing two ink works, I settled into this setting for my oils.  Using my Guerilla Painter thumb box, I am painting 7x5 today.  I just got a new shipment of brushes in - some with short handles, made specifically for pochade boxes!  Oh happy day!  I've been sawing off handles for years.  Who knew they came the way I needed for plein air?  Painting number 1751 in 1751 days.
