Autumn at the Little Pond

Autumn at the Little Pond
oil on canvas panel, 7x5

I had so much trouble deciding what to paint today!  I need to be working on winter paintings for my Christmas cards, also on smaller works for an upcoming show, and I spent too much time pouring over reference photos!  When I finally decided on a composition in a square format, I realized I had not yet primed the square panels!  In desperation, I had resorted to some ready made canvas panels and had primed about a dozen of them yesterday.  Just not the size I wanted!  So, there was nothing for me to do but choose another subject to fit on what I had.  I hope to get the other 15 or so panels primed today, as I need more 6x6 sizes to choose from for the Randy Higbee Show.  I do like the pop of the colors on this one, and I primed this last batch in pumpkin orange!  So, that color sneaks through here and there!  I am feeling so creative lately, it has been hard to focus on just one thing at a time!  Painting number 311 in as many days.  Maybe I'll get to that square painting tomorrow.....
