On The Cusp Of Autumn

Dang, the weather sure has been nice so I loaded up my backpack and headed to Ben Hawes Park here in Owensboro to find me something to paint. I hiked in on a trail hoping to find something interesting and there certainly were, but I ended up coming out of the trail on an old road that borders the park and I liked the scene that was before me. Beautiful blue sky, corn turning color, a road going off into the shadows, and some nice trees casting long shadows across everything.

One of these days I hope to have an opportunity to shoot video while I paint, but for now, I just have some photos.

Here is the scene I chose.

Here is my setup and a good ways into the painting.

And here is the final piece. I worked on it a little once I got it home. I wasn't happy with the original clouds I had put in.
