Capturing a Mood

October seems to have disappeared rather quickly 
 with rapid changes in the weather 
from warm and balmy to cool and crisp.
The fall colours were late....my favourite maple
 peaking a few days after Thanksgiving 
rather than on the holiday 
as I've come to expect.

Autumn Pastel 2016 Leslie Snider

In this first pastel, 
I'm trying to capture 
the illusive early days of fall
where the light is soft 
and colours are just beginning to  change.

 In this second pastel 
the light is bright and sharp,
the leaf colours at their most intense.
