"Autumn Fire"

(Acrylics on board 16"x20")

Sorry - no prints available of this painting.

Much detail is missing from this photograph - see details below.

Autumn Fire started as a completely different painting than what finally appeared. That happens. The painting began as a summer scene but as Fall approached, I became fascinated with the bright yellows of the poplar trees I saw.

Poplars are some of the first trees to turn in this area and their almost perfect shape makes them appear unreal at times so that the viewer often has to look twice to get the full impact.

In this painting, there's a nip in the air - just a hint of Autumn. Picture yourself sitting on a rock at the side of the stream with the water making gentle splashing noises below you. From there, you can focus on the blaze of colors in nature's palate.
