Is it possible to cling on to Summer yet still be excited about Autumn approaching? This time of year is bittersweet to me, only because I am not fond of Winter being so long. So as much as I can't wait for Autumn it is always too short and launches into Winter before anyone is ready.
This little painting is from a day last weekend when my husband and I were out driving from one errand to another. The sky was so beautiful and engaging.
Quiet Monday, at least for the next hour. The bird of Indiana is the cardinal. The female's colors are much more muted than the fiercely red male. This original painting and Prints are available.
When studying the light coming through the petals I could figure out the values but getting the color correct was a bit more of a challenge. I think I finally got it right.
