Blue Sky and Shining Crowns

I have been drinking in the beauty of the trees when I go on my daily walks. The fall has been especially lovely.
For this painting done in acrylics, I wanted to capture a porcelain and glass feeling - clarity and brilliance.
I also love the look of the feathery tree tops, the end twigs expressive as they meet the sky, and so very appealing with nut husk ornaments - on the left the shagbark hickory and in the foreground and on the right, black walnut.

Framed by new owner - great choice!

V Formation Painting

I painted this over the course of a few days using acrylic paints.
The weather generally cooperated, though the light and colors,
and the volume of leaves kept changing. It is Fall after all.
