The Colors of Autumn

The Colors of Autumn is my latest painting. It's obviously not a desert scene, the landscapes I always felt are my best paintings, but sometimes when it's fall, I want to do something that celebrates this wonderful season.

The size is 18" x 24" / 45.7cm x 61cm. I gave it a slightly blurry look to give the image a dreamy appearance. The inspiration came from an image I saw on deviantArt.com, and the composition follows a painting I made many years ago with elk instead of a deer.

Enjoy!!

Autumn Equinox -- at Last!!

Autumnal equinox finally arrived today (although the day's almost over as I write this). Autumn is when my world turns into a fantasy land -- fall colors, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. (Once Christmas ends, the magic seems to end, too, and the time that follows is kind of a downer).

I thought I'd celebrate the beginning of this special time by posting images of some autumn paintings by artists I greatly admire.
