Autumn in Augusta
Oil on panel - 12x9 |
This was painted from the top of Killdeer Rd, in Augusta Shores, Missouri. The path was little more than a trodden place in the grass, but it lead my eye right over the rise. I sketched this one, and built up a little texture with molding paste. After drying this in front of my car heater, I underpainted in acrylics, then topped it off with oils. I love this spot to paint the fall foliage - and remember it fondly. Like hearing an old song takes me back in time, so does seeing a plein air painting take me back to the time and place. I can still feel the sun on my face, wind in my hair, and smell the leaves and the earth around me.
