Valley Below, 12x16, Oil on Linen (SOLD)

After a summer of battling with those tricky greens that abound here in southern Minnesota, it feels good to dip into the cadmiums of autumn. I was struck by the contrast between the cool minty green and the warm yellows and oranges of this location.

Another beautiful day to paint; 65º and calm and a wedding going on behind me.

On the way to the Parley Lake Winery paint out we were stopped dead in our tracks by this scene.

Bringing in the Crop

Painted this weekend at the Parley Lake Winery, I was setting up my easel as these guys were picking the last grapes for the season. I was there as part of the Outdoor Painters of Minnesota paint out.
