Walking downtown today, the in-town maples had turned, and I noticed leaves that were almost neon in their brightness. Gorgeous colors! Like the red-oranges here, so vivid. Other varieties were less flashy, but lovely yellows and browns. Don't you love the fall colors? We are actually almost done here, between the rain and the cold. BUT ....only 5 months until Spring!

OK. I hope this shows up all right, I've got it set at the largest size that seems to fit.I think it's my favorite fall piece so far, it feels sunny but mild. Not one of those crispy days, where all the edges are sharp and keen. It has a nice variety of colors, a few brights but not all. Yup, I'm pleased with it.

Splash of Yellow - NA

Splash of Yellow
Oil on Gessoed Hardboard, 12" x 12"
Revised on January 16, 2018

This one is revised from one I painted the other day called "New England Maples."
It felt a bit stark, though I liked it. So today I made it softer, added branches, more leaves on the ground, played down the lemony color, made the yellow warmer. Better maybe, or just different. Maybe more appealing.And free shipping probably doesn't hurt, right?

Maple Splendor - SOLD

Maple Splendor
Oil on  Gessoed Hardboard, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $96, with free shipping.
(Pricing still at $0.50 per square inch)



I did one a couple of weeks back of just the maple, and not much more, since it was a smaller board. But oh, nice to spread out and do the entire reference photo. The maples in New England are always so gorgeous at this time of the year. That I DO miss, but surely NOT the winters. Much easier getting thru a Maryland winter.
