The Cadmium Red Tree

The second plein air painting I did one beautiful October morning at Baypoint Beach in Stoney Creek Metropark in Rochester, Mi. My first one was done with brushes. I thought two approaches would be a fun comparison of styles.

This was done very quickly with a knife and it may be one of my favorite plein airs I did this fall. I loved the one tree with its bright red leaves standing out amongst the other trees, even those in their peak fall colors of gold. I had to make it the star of this painting.

This was painted on a homemade pdf panel and ships unframed. This ships free in the continental U.S.
