        Love the contrasting trunk colors as well as the partly green, partly gold and orange leaves as the trees rest for the season.  So glad you are able to paint again, as this is a winner!

            Brilliant, Derek! The colours are wonderful and like Kay said, the contrast between trunks and the leaves are magical. For the lightest trunk on the left, can I ask what colours you used? I sometimes struggle with colours that are so light and subtle.

                This is a wonderful slice of autumn.

                Everything else being equal, I would rather be in the painting zone.

                    This view from your yard is just gorgeous, Derek!  Leaves turning color and some still holding on to their greens remind us that summer is over.  I like your subdued and muted background very much.

                        Thanks my friends; Donna, Mike, Doug, Matthew, Kay Very much.

                        Matthew if I can remember correctly that tree was titanium buff (unbleached titanium) white and a bit of raw umber.

                            These interior forest scenes are so difficult to paint and yours looks so natural and realistic. I had to throw two paintings in the trash recently trying to paint interior forest with dappled light because I just couldn’t pull it off.  That is a testament to your experience and skill Derek.   I especially love the variance in the tree hues and values.  I can see why you like Fall.

                                    I love autumn, also, and will be happy to have it this year!  Great piece, especially at that size.  Lots of colors working off each other, creating such nice motion & energy, but with the verticals restoring order to the scene.   Kind of a cascading effect, from left to right.  Nice effect to leave a lot of edges out & let the sharply contrasting colors form boundaries.

                                    Derek….this is another gem my friend.  The wonderful array of colours throughout provides the opportunity for the viewer to wander throughout this autumn beauty. I too am a huge fan of this time of year.

                                    It is so convincing the way you paint branches and the way the branches are woven in and out throughtout the scene. Great job and thanks as always for sharing.

                                    Beautiful foreground detail push forward by the muted, subtle distant foliage.  Your paintings really are an art lesson.  Gary

                                            Nice work Derek.  I love the variety of the tree trunk colors; it’s so well observed and captured.
