On my travels in southern Vermont and New Hampshire the fall foliage has been lovely this year. I have really noticed the yellows and ochres as most pleasing to the eye.
This watercolor was started very freely. I did not layout or transfer any aspect of this composition. In fact, the composition is still evolving as I paint it. This morning I decided that the mountain landscape on the left I will carry over to the right of the house so that the character of the land is fitting for this old New England house.
I don't know anyone personally, who successfully paints peak fall foliage in watercolor without becoming too gaudy. Not that there aren't great watercolorists out there who can't paint fall foliage but it is a challenge to keep a freshness to the colors without overdoing it.
