Last October my daughter and I painted at a festival at a winery in Comfort Texas. We drove on narrow country roads up and down hills through the countryside. We crossed a small bridge over the Guadalupe River, and I asked my husband to stop so I could take some pictures of the river from the bridge. This is painted using one of those photos as a reference.
October in Central Texas doesn't have the spectacular colors of fall. The live oaks, which are one of the primary trees in this area, don't lose their leaves until the spring. They stay green all winter. We have do have some subtle color changes, with an occasional tree or shrub glowing with bright colors.
Thanks for stopping by.
The advantage of leaves staying green all winter, is that it helps to mix better greens, right? This is a lovely painting, with beautiful greens!

ReplyDeleteJust got an email from the Hunt Gallery—group show starting July 20, no opening reception, and up through the summer. Hope you'll make it into the "city." Let me know if you can ahead of time and maybe we can meet for coffee or lunch?
