ACEO - Autumn Trees 13
I didn't have a lot of time to paint before I had to leave for the Executive meeting at KAGS; I wanted to work on this painting that I started last year while at the Knoepfli Inn in Magnetawan, Ontario (see post on 05 October 2015).
Using a mix of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna I put in all the tree trunks first. Raw sienna was added to the trunk colour and then painted into the foreground.
Using raw sienna, burnt sienna and alizarin crimson I painted in the background trees and undergrowth.
While the paint was still wet I dropped in a little bit of pure new gamboge to create interest.
With a sponge and mixes of raw sienna, alizarin crimson, cadmium red new gamboge and cadmium yellow I added the leaves onto the trees.
Into the dark foreground I put in splashes of bright colour withe cadmium red and cadmium yellow.
If you would like more information about ACEO please go to my post on 11 March 2010.
The ACEO shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Winsor & Newton paint on 140lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $20.00 and sold unframed.

New Painting at Roland's Steak House
Today I returned to Roland's Steak House at 845 Highway 7 East, Peterborough, Ontario, to replace one of my paintings that had sold (see post on 21 November 2016).
I would like to thank new collector Ms. Tina Fitzpatrick, of Mississauga, Ontario on her purchase of Aurora Borealis (see post on 04 April 2010).

Break in the Fence 2 and Fence Line 3
While out running errands I noticed as I was on my way home the various different types of fences enclosing the fields.
I stopped along the side of the road and did a quick drawing of one the fences. This one had a break in the wire and some of the fence posts were leaning or broken. The field was overgrown with weeds, showing that this property was no longer being maintained.
Break in the Fence 2
I continued down the road and when I came to the stop at the end of the road, right across from me there was a new post and rail fence that had been put in during the summer.
Fence Line 3
New people had purchased the farm a couple of years ago and now that their new home had been built they were starting to do work on the fence line around the property.
There were a lot of differences between the two properties and it is amazing how a little time, care and a lot of work can change the look of the land.

Long Shadows
Today I am painting with the Buckhorn Tuesday Painting Group and I thought I would like to finish this painting that I had started quite a while ago (see posts on 20 August 2010 and 14 January 2016).
Using a grey made with French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna I darkened down the pine tree trunks and branches.
Using various mixtures of French ultramarine blue, Antwerp blue, cobalt blue, raw sienna, new gamboge and aureolin I made the greens for the pine needles on the trees.
I put the grasses and growies showing through the snow at the base of the trees with cadmium yellow, burnt sienna, raw sienna and lemon yellow.
This original 6" x 6-3/4” watercolour painting when framed will be available for $125.00.
