Bridge in Autumn

Bridge in Autumn
oil on panel - 6x6

This is one of my entries this year for the Randy Higbee show.  I was just down at Big Cedar - and this scene is from the creek that winds through Dogwood Canyon.  Every turn is a painting, and beautiful bridges are scattered all along the road.  Many of the leaves had already fallen down in the canyon, leaving trees almost bare and lots of leaves at water's edge.  This day was particularly cold, and I was SO thankful for the windbreak of a small wooden storage building just behind me.  It can be quite a challenge to paint when my hands are shivering!
