This painting is done with acrylic paits on 16 x 20" canvas.  
I wanted to caputre one of my favourite type of fall tree settings. Birch trees are my favourites so they had to be in there.
 I was going to put some symbol in greyish area of lost branch on largest tree. I decided to wait for buyer to advise what initials or symbols are to be carved onto this tree.
Price for orginal is $588.00.  Digital canvas  print with custom initials or symbol added  $188.00 Cdn.

This painting went through many changes.  Starting with a lot of the background leaves being red....Far too busy.
So I turned most back to green and simplified the background shapes. Later I added a thick bodied pale yellow to the front leaves to give more  punch and texture.  Many other changes, esp. in water.  I struggled with how the reflections and shadows should appear and the movement of the water.  My sister Claudette came by and suggested more darkness in the water and more rocks and stepping stones along the shore.  Big improvement.  Looked much more natural and the water came more to life.
So its a good reminder that there will always be a lot of changes before things get better and  we need some of the darks and rocks along the way to bring out the beauty in life.

Finally getting around to posting my new paintings on m blog.  I borrowed a laptop from my brother and can now get back to work on keeping up my website.   YAHHHHH
I spent a lot of time down at Lynde Shore Consveration Area, South Whitby.   and have been working on a series since June.  Since the leaves have been changes I havw changed tp7o a series of scenes on 16 x 20 celebrating the beautiy of the season.
