Fall Foliage


Michigan Horses

Today I completed an oil landscape painting with Fall foliage and it made me think of  posting some Autumn  photographs to this blog.   It has been a while since I posted here, and I promise not to let that happen again.   I have been very busy painting and have not gone on any photo shoots lately.  Believe me, I desperately want to take off to the country or the ocean to take photos very soon.   I have missed that.

Below are some more Fall scenes for you to enjoy.


A barn in Michigan with just the beginning stages of Fall foliage.   I believe those are mums blooming in front of the fence.  Below are some photos taken at the Washington Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens in Seattle.   



The picture below was also taken at the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle.   It is the reference photograph for the painting I completed today, which is also shown below.




"Autumn Of Our Life - Ecclesiastes 9:9"
12" x 16" oil on panel

I changed things a little in the painting.... wonderful thing, artistic license !  You may view the blog post about this artwork here

Looking forward to sharing many more posts with you in the coming year.   Have a wonderful New Year !
