Autumn Orange



I had such fun today. Found myself on an island in the middle of a dry river bed, at Eaton Canyon. Wonderful views, and the play of those clouds was just spectacular. Who wouldn't love the deep shadows and bright lights dancing across the San Gabriel mountains. Perhaps a few new to Plein Air, might find it just a bit difficult to find the color notes. Ah.. that is half the fun.

Now...take a deep breath, and color your panel Red Orange. Found that color floating around the canyon, and decided to grab it. Quite fun, I must say.

Take a minute, quiet your mind, and really look. You too will see, the lavendar, teal, ocher, and blues, in your world.

Hi Robin
First time to comment, but have been watching your work for some time. Really lovely! The red orange tied it all together. Thanks for a peek at my old stomping grounds.

Mary - It was very fun to push the color on this one. I guess as an artist begins to feel more comfortable, they can take more risks.

May - Thank you for coming out of the shadows. It is nice to know that my work brings people around once in a while. I will continue to give you a peek of the area, so don't stay a stranger.

Jana - I was having that same experience when I was there. Sometimes it is hard to concentrate. The colors, the light, the playful shadows...
