Thanksgiving Time

Fall Glory at JB

The week of Thanksgiving was beautiful with mild temps, a sunny sky and no wind.  Perfect for painting outdoors this time of year.  Went to Jefferson Barracks park to see if there were any colorful trees left and to my surprise walked right in front of this scene of golden color still intact.  

Fall Has Arrived

A Spot of Color

Fall Blush

Fall seemed to be on hold because of the late summer drought with leaves dropping dry and dull, but rain finally came and brought everything back to life.  I spotted an opening along the Grant Trail that gave this view of some older buildings and that one bright orange tree giving fall it's true colors.  It was very windy when I set up my easel to paint this and by the time I finished, that beautiful orange tree was almost bare, clouds were moving in along with dropping temps. Timing is everything!
