The perfect time of season, the perfect hour, the perfect weather, lets hope this continues into the perfect painting. A bright autumnal afternoon with the sun sinking there was a wonderful light through the trees. Mix this with bright yellow and deep orange trees, there is some wonderful contrajour lighting with strong shapes creating a jigsaw puzzle effect. The background hills are lit in the foreground but silhouetted on the horizon line. Its a good starting point for a painting.
Autumn evening. Day 1
