2 1/2" x 3 1/2" Acrylic on Stretched Canvas
Completed on November 8, 2009, this was my first attempt at a miniature painting. The subject matter was taken from one of the many photo's I take while on the road. It was in October just as the leaves were starting to turn colors. It was one of those windy fall days when it had been raining most of the day but the sun had just popped from under a line of clouds. What color was there seemed to really stand out against the still dark sky. I found it difficult to get the depth I was trying for while working in the small format. I am not entirely unhappy with this painting. I plan to try more of these in the future.
