LAST LIGHT IN THE COVE, 12x16, oil

The soft, lovely Fall colors were just showing up in the trees.  Lake Marburg is very low this time of the year and bright green grass is growing where water used to be.  The bottom mud was a rich rust color and the late day light was low and cut through the trees.

Pa. LANDSCAPE, 16x12, oil

The Pennsylvania landscape is very green this time of year.  It is hard to separate the various greens, so I try to keep in mind which areas are shady and cool and which are sunny and warm.  The atmosphere makes the distant trees hazy and blue and I try to make the foreground shadows rich.
