Vermont Autumn Farm

6 x 8 inches Oil on canvas (3/4" stretchers)

The location of my final plein air class today. Demo above showing back light coming through maple trees and on the willows. The sun was intermittent as it rained lightly for 10 minutes.
It was in low 50's today so we all had coats on and gloves.
I admit it ~ it was penetrating cold by 6 pm when we were done. You never know with Vermont fall foliage what the temperature will be. The colors are going to be great this year as they are turning slowly and sustaining their color.

And on to preparing wood panels

Trying out some different grounds and framing in my shop.
