The autumn shades this year are very gentle. I love the way the sky was reflecting on the surface of the water, creating those wonderful pops of blue! Knowing I will probably not have a good shot at strong fall color, I approach my scene as I do all others. I simply start blocking in the masses, with their subtle shifts in color. The landscape unfolds naturally, and the color emerges. I do not try to push it, I'm simply letting it happen. I'm trying to be mindful of my edges and the brushwork.
