Autumn, from the Seasons Series


This is the very first of my "Tree Series" paintings.  The technique is unusual but addictive.  I viewed it on an art DVD and decided to give it a try.  Of course I had no idea how it would come out but I used my latest advice to myself:  "Paint until you love it".  I read these words in an art book and they resonated with me.  This painting just called for some autumn leaves to be sponged on and shading to be added to the trees.
The sun peeking through the trees adds to the appeal.

Very nice. I really like autumn trees. They display my very favorite colors.
