This isn't my best painting, but I think it's my best title yet. Surely trees clap their limbs and leaves together for the cloud show each evening. Why not? If only they could hold lighters. 09 March 2011

The Shoulder Season, 6x6, A/C
I've painted a ton of autumn scenes over the years, but they have always been aspen groves or riparian cottonwoods. I like these dark, bare trunks because they are unobscured by form-masking foliage. I've always liked the Klimt-esque feeling of a bare forest. This was fun.

But I don't think so.
