"Fall Splendor" - 8 x 8 inches - oil on canvas

"Fall Splendor" - 8 x 8 inches - oil on canvas

I painted this back in November on a relatively warm day.  I set up my easel on the edge of a field and painted as fast as I could (I didn't have much time).  I wanted to keep the painting loose and somewhat abstract so have a time restriction was a good thing as it forced me to put down the large shapes and not sweat the details.   

I donated this painting to the Commonwealth Ballet for their benefit gala last month.
