October Gold

My autumn landscape was painted en plein air in Ontario.
Forests of leaf filled trees holds my visual interest as my eye sees layer after layer of color, value, and textures. Forest subjects provide an opportunity to use multiple layers of paint applied with palette knife and a soft rubber brayer. Foundation layers were first laid using light and dark transparent color with matte medium. Thicker opaque paint layers were scumbled with brush and palette knife to highlight fall foliage capturing an effective depth and dimension to the autumn forest mosaic.
My intent is for the viewer and art collector alike to delve deeper into the values and colors of the textured trees. Enjoy the view!
