"Placerita Creek" ©


Green and gold mixed together as fall sinks into winter, is the story behind this painting.  Placerita Canyon creek runs though the nature center where I discovered this view last week.  The color is leaving more and more each day as the weather cools.  It's tough for painting,  short days and the briefest of daylight striking the ground from the south quickly approaching.  The good news is that it is too cold for snakes to be very active, the bad news is my new car was hit today.  What can you do, life marches on.

Hi Laura, Terrific use of light & shadows, & focusing by softening the peripheral. I want to go under the trunk & into the light! Fall, but warm, nummy. Joy
