Late this afternoon I started this plein air watercolor. I was in Keene, NH, finishing some errands when I settled on this spot in the Asheulot Park. It may look a little amateurish, but I like the decisions made along the way. The days are getting so short that the window for painting is narrowing rapidly.
Since the yellow foliage was so fresh and dominant, I wanted to put down a vibrant wash and leave it alone. When plein air painting, it is important to utilize the old adage: warm colors advance. and cool colors recede.
When I started the sun was in my eyes with the landscape backlit, creating interesting shadow patterns and that mist-like quality on the right side.
