Fall Trees - Acrylic



Fall Trees - Acrylic on Canvas
The season has changed and the leaves are awesome this year. With every time of the day a different tree comes alive with glowing color. Colors I could not resist painting. I had an art studio tour a few weeks ago and thought I should hurry and do a couple of fall trees to display. These are two that I came up with.

River Plein Aire Painting

 Plein Air Painting Sailor's Bar, American River

I've been working hard cleaning my studios and getting ready for the
Art Studio Trek Next weekend in Roseville, Rocklin and Granite Bay,
California.  I had to stop and sign and paint the edges of several paintings.
Came across this Plein Aire painting I worked on about 1 hour at the river
That never got finished. Here is the photo I brought home for reference
and below that is my quick block in, done on site.





Today in the studio I lightened the sky and warmed up the hillside and added detail to the berry vines. I decided to calm down the water to make it less busy and give the eye somewhere to rest. Also broke up the shore line across the river with rocks to slow your eye moving across the painting.
