October Confetti

I did this painting based on a photo I took on a road in White Lake, MI on a gorgeous day with the leaves at peak autumn color. I haven't done a large knife painting in almost a couple months and was struggling with this in its early stages. I took a one-day break from it and studied the painting in the Group of Seven book I have. Then I rewatched parts of a terrific painting video by amazing knife painter Cynthia Rosen Studio Gallery, including her inspirational interview. The next day, my knife danced all over the canvas, channeling what the inspiration I got from these genius artists. I'm very happy with how it turned out.
