Autumn days…...


Red and yellow painted leaves
hang idly within the trees
They break and sail along the breeze
As fires of Autumn's time
(Wesley Mincin)

I'm always excited when the Autumn season comes around. Crisp days, cool nights and the changing colors of the foliage.

I used  many of my Girault neutrals and friends pastel for this painting to express the stormy gray day.

I really enjoy doing a wet underpainting for my pastels and pulled out my Winsor Newton watercolors for this next one to block in the basic shapes and colors.

I guess pretty soon I will be looking for the blues, browns and whites of winter.
