A few days ago, the early morning sunrise illuminated the now bare forest, and finally only a pencil thin focus shone on one birch tree, giving it a bright orangey glow. And today there was snow!

Last of the Leaves
Autumn splendor, Thanksgiving, guests from Europe, traveling - all a whirlwind of activity. How difficult it is to keep to my commitment of painting, let alone a painting a day! So today when all fell quiet, I painted where I was and what I saw - the evening sun on the bare trees.
PS Nov 2 - improved version posted - have added some darks.

The Driveway in Autumn
The autumn colours are in their full glory, and yesterday the wind was blowing so that leaves scattered all over. Even though it is Thanksgiving weekend with company coming and all, I had to quickly get a start on the fall version for the series I had planned to do. Not fully pleased yet. Might do some changes or start another one tomorrow.

Brilliant Spring Vines in the Vaucluse
Hard to believe that vines can be that limey, but they were in May in the Vaucluse in Provence. We were working on composition au plein air. I was hoping that the eye is lead into and around the painting, but those vivid yellow-green grape vines really dominate the whole scene. The photo seems even more intense than the actual painting. I need a better set up for photographing the paintings....any tips?
