The woods in Vermont, a drawing

It's a clear crisp day here in Vermont and I decided to study the woods a little more.  I'm still working on paintings of the woods and trying to clarify the light as it falls through the leaves.  It's a moving target of course.  And that allows me dwell in non-verbal space and experience the outdoors as it changes.

Here's' the study I did today.

Think I finally finished this painting that I started about 5 years ago.  Fall began and gave a hit of copper and purple!
