autumn's last breath


8x8 pastel and watercolor on Uart
The cold winds were whipping across the lake, which meant I had to hold onto my easel and forgo the umbrella. My goal was to use color to make the feel of autumn's ending.

Everything about this is cold; the air, the trees, the water. Even the orange foliage on the island. Interesting how warm autumn colors can feel so cool. Cool!

B,

What time of day was this? I assume
early morning. Beautiful island and distant
land masses. Love the color variations in the sky.
You handle everything so well.

Well, I should get my gear packed away
for tomorrow morning. Wish me luck.

Your painting Buddy.

Thanks Sam. It was really cold. For Washington this is unusual...33 tonight...yipes. I can't wait to paint snow..even even it has to get cold to do that.

Hey PB,
You're right it was morning ... although not as early as usual. Slept in till 7:45...egad, what a slacker I was! I was painting by 8:30.
Have fun painting tomorrow. I can't wait to see.

I especially love the Indian red against the red-violet.

Ooh, gorgeous. I love that red. You're such a stud, out there in all kinds of weather...

This does feel really cold, as everyone has said - like a good day to work from inside the car with the heat on and the windows rolled up. Beautiful color and wonderful chilly glow to the sky, Loriann.
