October in Grand Detour

October in Grand Detour; Oil on Canvas 22″ x 28″

12 – 12 – 12, the date today…or a really boring lock combination.

I created this painting using a small 9″ x 12″ study as a guide. Going to the larger format made for a challenge to get the foliage right. Fought through it. We have this painting sitting on an easel in our dining room. The colors really pop as the afternoon sun lights up the room.
