More autumn scenery coming up with a new show


Jenn Cram, an excellent clay artist, and I have a show opening this weekend at the Breckenridge Theater Gallery. Titled "Transitions", the show will hang for a month or so. The show title works well with my pieces as so many of them are obviously in different seasons. I have a lot of landscapes with wildflowers in summer, snow in winter, melting snow in spring, and of course, my favorite season to paint with lots of color, autumn.
This scene is a beaver pond that I saw as I was driving home one day at the peak time for fall color. I called it "Reflecting". One day I will figure out a way to think of interesting titles! My nephew, Shane Rebenscheid, calls his paintings names like "The day that Sam lost his watch" and "Covert Diplomacy". Once you see the painting, it makes sense, (mostly) but how he comes up with the titles, I will never know!
The link above takes you to his blog. Shane is a commercial illustrator, doing book covers for the most part, and now he has taken up "fine art" and is doing well. He has a great art education and it is good to see him using all of it! If you want to see his illustration work, go to blot.com (another great title!)

  4. Another beautiful painting.... I love the brilliant deep blue of fall skies against the orangey/browney/reds of the foliage.

  5. thanks Teresa! We call that color of blue "Colorado Blue" (at least, I do!) I have never seen blue skies anywhere like we have here. I think it is our altitude as there is less atmosphere to get in the way.

  6. Hi Joanne,
    This is a beautiful painting. I love the water with the blurred reflections. It just draws you into the painting.
