This has been a glorious fall full of great fall foliage with quite a run of mild weather. With the lack of rain it seems the foliage just lingers on the trees or on the ground. There are times late in the day when a magical glow radiates across the landscape.
This watercolor was inspired by the tawny colors along the West River Trail in Brattleboro, VT. Recently, late in the day, I caught a full rainbow traipsing across the dramatic sky over the local wetlands.
I painted this watercolor on Arches 300 lb cold press paper. Usually, I prefer the 140 lb paper but I gave this one a try. The thicker paper gave me more time to work the pigments into the paper which was beneficial in developing a richer saturation of colors.
