Fall Color One

We really had a colorless fall this year, but I stumbled on a tree lined drive that had spectacular color.  I wish I could tell you what kind of trees these are, possibly some kind of crabapple.  At any rate they were actually this bright at sunset.  I am pretty happy with this painting.  After taking Carol Marine's workshop I have been practicing mixing greys and using them more often.  I think it paid off in this one. 
More to come in this series.   I think I  can learn quite a bit from this subject and the colors are fun to mix.
