Fall Stroll

This is one of my favorite paintings. It depicts the epitomy of small town fall beauty and serenity. I also like it because I broke compositional rules by having the figures walk out of the composition rather than into it. I'm such a rebel. The other thing I really liked about this painting is that it is very abstract, and it was a very fast and exciting paitning. I did 90% of it in about 2 1/2 hours. About a month later the power company cut all the trees back and destroyed this beautiful view. I was lucky to capture it when I did. This is Essex St- Deep River, Connecticut.
