Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone, along with it most of the color fall brought this year. I did get a few last days of orange, but that's all over now. The painting of the garden is a subject that I've painted several times before. I touched this up after about 3 hours outside and I'm still a bit iffy about it. That center of interest is too near the center.
The painting above I think is one of the better I've done and required no touching up. This is another scene that I have painted many times—if you go back far enough in this blog you are sure to see it. This little crick, as we'd call it in Ohio is down about 100 feet below my house "in a holler" as they say in Appalachia. The color is so true and the reflection of the trees ended up being the key here, giving it little light at the bottom of all those heavy earth tones.
