A couple of years ago during a trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan, I took dozens of photos of outstanding fall color. From trees to fields to still ponds reflecting color like a palette, compliment and analogous color combinations were everywhere to be found. God paints scenes for us in every season, at every hour of the day in harmonious palette combinations that we have to study to reproduce. I decided to paint this on clayboard and I forgot what a delight it is to lay transparent watercolor on this surface. This was painted from one of those inspirations photos I've kept in mind to paint "one of these days." Today was the day.
