fall

 Nothing satisfies my sense of color like a clear, crisp fall day. Everything seems to shimmer and vibrate with blue and orange and gold.

The blueberry bushes outside my deck are turning glorious colors.

Little wonder that the color worked its way into my painting today.

October Sky

As the morning passed, the sun strengthened and broke through the fog. The air was still wet and the surfaces of every blade of grass and leaf glistened in the sporadic sun breaks.

The golden trees lit the scene like torches.
