Contrasting Views

Can't stay away from autumn scenes,
the opportunity to work
 with warmer colour schemes
is too tempting!

Contrasting views:

The first looking along a farmer's field,
early morning mist in the distance,
 the last of autumn colour clinging to the trees.

This second is deeper into the wooded trail
(known as the K&P Trail for Kingstonians).

The leaves carpeting the ground,
 highlighted by shafts of light
coming through the density of trees. 

Fallen Leaves - Leslie Snider
Both sketches in pastel.

Across the Fields

Two new pastel sketches -
This first, a celebration of fading autumn colour.

This second sketch from earlier in the month- 
Another view across the fields.
Here I'm tuning into the more subtle variations of marsh grasses.
