Race to Capture Autumn

The last few evenings, late autumn light has poured from a clear sky over a richly colored landscape.  These are the days I wish I could stop time and just paint.  But my schedule is full, so I steal time to create when I can.  Tonight, I raced the setting sun with my watercolor brush, then finished the painting indoors, adding touches with my Prismacolor colored pencils.

Happy Autumn!

Flaming Sassafras and Maple leaves glow like lanterns in the late evening sun, while a bare limbed apple tree and raspberry bushes gather deep shadows.
