Autumn Shore Rocks   ..10" x 8"     ..O/P

There is still some nice fall colour out there. It is strange that in some pockets of the county, there are trees that have maintained their late summer green colour. Strange to see when some other trees are bare.

The panel for this small painting was a two coasts of gesso Masonite panel.. No under coat of colour was added to the surface before the painting was started.

My palette for this piece was my usual limited palette . Colours that I added as 'extras' (just in case) were yellow ochre, a number five gray (neutral), lime green, earth green and naples yellow. 
This painting was painted using an assortment of three 'round' brushes. (for no specific reason).

It is a small painting but anytime there are rocks in the scene, it can be a separate challenge.

'til next..
