Autumn Woods 2 - daily painting plein air landscape

6x6" oil - every year during this week I HAVE to go outside and paint - and it has to be trees - Ive got a thing for dark trunks against the orange leaves.
Also has to be loose and painterly, I want to capture the feeling of being in the woods this time of year not every branch,leaf or twig

Autumn Woods - plein air painting by Debbie Miller

6x6 oil - a plein air from last year - havent gotten out yet this fall and the leaves will soon be gone! This is a favorite from last year - shows signs of the desire to go more abstract and loose

Autumn Woods- My October 5 -plein air,landscape

6x6" oil on masonite. I love the woods in October - the darks trunks against all that color - gorgeous.
every now and then I like to set a time limit for a painting - to keep things loose - its what i did here. 25 min. then on to the next. I'm happy with it.
