There was a nice sale on tucked canvases today at Michaels, 5" x 7" tucked into 8" x 10", tucked into 12" x 16", and two more larger graduating sizes of canvases. All five for $14.95. Good deal, right? So here's the first one on the 5" x 7", just a quick pepper, since I still have them.

It feels as though I've forgotten how to paint, it's been awhile. I got to have my granddaughter for the weekend, and of course, no painting then, but lots of play time.

This is Kayla, after church on Sunday. Isn't she a sweetie?

Once again, I have run out of canvas, and am using painting income to do shipping. So it's time for a watercolor or two. This one is basically from my imagination, twisty and frilly. The blue one is (intended to be) two irises, one behind the other.

I had painted this one last week, and called it "Ablaze at Wildwood." (Scroll down five posts to see.) Since it didn't sell, I decided to play around with it. I added more green, added more sky holes, used a palette knife to make it a bit more complicated and textured, and lowered the ground line. Much better now, I think. More "leafy" looking.

A palette knife painting in mostly greens and yellows.
I imagine you are tired of all the oranges and reds of fall. Today we have rain and cold, and the colors are more browns and lavenders outdoors. Wet colors.

SOLD at $25 plus $10 shipping.

There is a small pond in Amherst that my friend B visits most years in the fall. She has sent me photos.
Spectacular colors reflected in the dark water, so lovely, and I was thinking about Solomon in all his glory, not being arrayed as splendidly as God's fall palette.

Another version of the Burnt Orange trees at Wildwood. This time I tried to resist the urge to go at it with my palette knife, not entirely successful, but for the most part, this is a brush painting. Yum on the colors.

I found this bowl at one of the Goodwill type stores in the area, can't remember the name, Value City or somesuch. I thought I'd use it for lemons, but I used the lemons in my tea. Oh, well, there were apples at church on Sunday, so I grabbed a few. (We have a surplus food ministry at church.) Perfect for a small canvas.

I know, you've seen so many maples from me this fall. I think this may be the last time for using this particular reference, taken in front of my daughter's old house in Barre, Massachusetts. But yes, I wanted one more, just one more. I wasn't quite finished with the lovely maples. My favorite fall trees.
