"The aspens are sensitive to air movement because their leafstalks are only narrow ribbons and set at right angles to the hanging leaf-blade. On this day the world was becalmed at ground level. Yet even in this stillness, the aspens trembled, as they always do."
quote from Your heart belongs to me, by Dean Koontz

Beautiful painting, Donna! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Donna T. Hope you enjoyed your thanksgiving. We did and now I hope to get back to painting. Thank you for your comment. I am thinking of cropping this. The trees on the right are overdone. I think if I crop, the scene will be more what I want. Will repost if I make this change.
Beautiful fall painting, Donna. I am trying to come up with a studio painting from all my recent photo's of fall, and like Richard McKinley says in the recent Pastel Journal, when Youv'e been painting from life, its very hard to get excited with your photo's!!! I am not a great Plein-air artist, but I sure love it, and using my photo's has become lackluster! Do you ever fell that way?? And paintings are also so much more beautiful than photo's!! This one sure is!!
Hi Ida. I have been watching for your work. Yes to every thing you said. My photo's always disappoint me, even a great photo fails in comparison to nature. And yes again, paintings are much more fun to look at than photo's. One can imagine the thoughts of the painter when viewing a wonderful painting. As they say about camera's "one eye and no brain". Thanks for looking and I will keep watching for your thoughts and paintings, or your thoughts in paintings.
