White Barn Autumn

What glorious color there is in autumn leaves!  Shining and saturated, these colors sing in the landscape against the green grass. I see a subtle shift in the color each day, and the leaves falling to the ground are a sure sign of bare branches to come. I do wish the trees could hold onto their autumn best for a month or two - then maybe I could get my fill of fall painting!  Painting number 3958 in 3958 days. 

Elmore Barn

After pouring over the photos of a lifetime, I take a few minutes to ink the barn next door.  Autumn color peaked the morning after dad passed away, so I'm left with what remains.  Still colorful, but not vibrant,  I lay those colors in with my watercolor half pan set.  It is the only medium I left town with, sure that I would not be gone so long.  I will never be without my oils again.  How beautifully they would capture the landscape now.  Painting number 2111 in 2111 days.
