...the darker, greyer, wetter days of late fall. It was interesting achieving the mood here; it came close to matching what I saw, and was based on the relationship of about 5 colours. 11 x 15 acrylic and pencil on unprimed printing paper.

Into late October....bittersweet times, as the landscape seems to shift dramatically....strong yellows in the forest beyond the bean field.

.....when you walk slowly in the country, you see a great many little things of interest. Things that you might not even comment on to a companion, but, to yourself, you say 'well, isn't that something'.

October Blue

Sitting quietly in my car, on a deserted road next to the forest, watching the active sky move by. October can be a bittersweet time.....so beautiful and often temperate....and so close to November which can be brutal. Acrylic on paper, 7.5 x 8.75 inches.

From Time Capsule Rock

I stopped at a small churchyard atop a hill, and leaned against a large boulder that bore an inscription that a time capsule lay beneath. I'm looking across a very dry cornfield.

From drawings of hidden fields in the forest. The sky changed a lot in a short while. At one point a well spaced series of clouds raced through. 11 x 15 inches on unprimed archival print paper.

The day before dismissing for Thanksgiving weekend, I ventured deep into the forest and found a few hidden fields. The sky was moving quickly and it was still quite warm.

One of few autumn paintings I produce every year. The colours seemed to arrive overnight. A warm spell is lasting into October.
