Autumn Light Painting

"Autumn Light". This medium sized painting is one of a series I painted inspired by the beautiful Autumns I experience near my home and studio in Northern Wisconsin by Lake Superior. During September & October this region is ablaze with color. Some of the most subdued colors are often the most intriguing to me, however. This painting has a limited palette found in fading light of the day. This paintings was sketched with charcoal pencil and pastel pencils, then painted on arches oil paper using oil paints and cold wax medium. It is mounted to a birch cradleboard that has matte black painted edges. It is ready to be displayed as it is or framed by you. My model is one of my former art students and family friend.
