Autumn Road

Autumn Road
Oil on panel, 6x6
Lake Quivira
The autumn colors are absolutely glorious this year!  I can't remember a more colorful season - and lucky for me that I am in the throws of daily painting, where I have ample opportunity to capture as much as I can!  This is painted from photo reference I took out at Lake Quivira last weekend.  Again, I have started with brushwork, ending with palette knife - trying to enhance the depth and foreground texture.  I find that I am running out of panels to paint on once again - I must very soon get some more cut!  I want to try a different priming technique where I use a roller to lay on the gesso and the underpainting, maybe trying some wild and crazy underpainting colors.........!  This is painting number 300 in 300 days - woo-hoo! Wow.  I can't believe I found time to paint 300 days in a row.  Simply a miracle :)
