Autumn Light

Autumn Light
24 x 30
Available at Galerie Kornye, Dallas

Every year this time, I have to adjust to the changing light. The thing I notice most is that the light is "harder" - a result of less moisture (humidity) in the air. We've had so much rain this fall, this hasn't really been noticeable until this week. Soon, the moisture returns in the form of lovely winter fog. But, for now, the clarity of the light is striking.

Great painting. I've been playing with a fall painting. I started it a week ago. I've been struggling with the light and the sky. I think you are right about the "hardness" of the light. The lack of humidity. My edges have looked a bit too harsh. It is a WIP I hope to post soon. It is a similar backlit landscape. I've enjoyed visiting your blog.

Thank you Neetzy. It is a challenging time of year to paint, but worth the effort!

Thanks Suzanne!
