This was inspired by the fall colour photos I took up the mountains on Beaver Lake Road just east of our house this autumn.  I'm also trying to implement and remember the techniques and lessons I learned form the April workshop I took with Neil Patterson.  I'm still having a hard time with making the colour work and with just laying on LOTS of paint.   Maybe its because I'm feeling stingy after the Christmas frenzy??   

Here's a couple photos that inspired today's painting... Enjoy!
