I had great fun putting the blues and purples next to the reds and oranges and watching them play. And the way the shapes move and fit together worked really well in this one too :)

I think I may have trouble when it comes to making prints of this one, the yellow sky is much nicer on the original. It either looks too gray or to light online. I foresee some extra work on this file. :)

But other than that, I love the movement of the reds, offset by the purple shadows. It really does look like she’s dancing. :)

I can’t call this painting The Edge of Autumn anymore, it’s too stodgy. And clearly this tree is having a party :)

Here’s where I am today. This is turning out to be one feisty tree!

With this one I am exploring all the reds and oranges of a tree in full fall color. The days are still warm but the cool nights have turned the leaves from green to gold. It is 16 x 20 inches, acrylic on wood.
