Winter definitely feels like it is moving in, here in Vermont. It is colder at night and the strength of the sun during the day seems weak.
However, we have had many sunny days lately. I try to get in the sun whenever possible even if it means eating lunch in the car or getting a walk in at erratic times of the day.
I have discovered this brownish mix by combining burnt umber and phthalocyanine blue which I have begun to experiment more with lately. It offers a nice earthly base which you can warm up or cool down depending on how you want to tweak the colors.
At this time of year the landscape can develop an eerie quality with all the leaves gone and a dismal lack of color. It is as if the landscape is waiting for the snow to arrive.
