| first day's work |
Walking down this sidewalk toward my studio has been a real joy as the leaves have been turning. I realized today that since I've been thinking about this landscape so much -- how the light hits the maple leaves, how the Japanese maple and holly hedge on the right cast shadows -- that it was time to paint it.
I need to knock back the intensity of the shaded plants on the right -- they jump forward of the maple a fair bit, when they should sit more quietly in deep shade.
Right now there's large blocks of color everywhere, and I had thought before painting that I'd need to break up the leaves on the ground a bit more. I may study that on my walk to the studio tomorrow and see where it leads me.
