“Autumn” began with an image that I just couldn’t get out of my head – a red shape on a dark purple or gray background, with streaks of light. It was a vague image, but it persistently hovered around the edges of my mind’s eye for several days.
I painted a small version first, about 4×6 inches, and that helped clarify what I was thinking.
Then, I did a 12×12 inch version on paper. That one is now completed as a finished painting, but is very different than this version.
Then, this 3rd (perhaps final?) version is 12×16 inches on canvas. I have to admit, this one was very satisfying: it was enjoyable to paint, the colors are just right, and I’m happy with how it looks.

It looks great, Karen! The colors and emotion really sing out… and wow, you are getting so close to your opening!! I am getting butterflies in my stomach thinking about it.
Lots of love today!!
Thanks, Julie!
Yes, Saturday is coming up quickly! I keep thinking of the 9million loose ends I have to tie up before then…Yikes!
