The light totally failed early on in the process and I was left wondering what I had started. I did what I always do which is to persevere... in this case, finishing the entire painting with a textural tool... my palette knife. Another way to create structure!<br /><br />The mood is what you need to capture in November which comes out of the special light and earthy colour of the landscape.<br /><br />"Simple little pleasures indeed"!<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the post and the paintings. We share the same wavelength Keith!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-47788222700780637452013-11-27T04:52:33.391-05:002013-11-27T04:52:33.391-05:00Hi Bruce, I love these sketches, they perfectly co...Hi Bruce, I love these sketches, they perfectly convey the mood of the season. The first one is a lesson in how to make a good painting out of nothing much at all.

Thanks for dropping by and for the greatlyappreciated comments and compliments.<br /><br />Every artist paints his or her best work when it flows fluidly from the brush... and the heart. Whether applied in glaze... or impasto technique it is the spiritual connection made ... the "essence"... as you call it... that draws the eye and the imagination of the viewer to the work.<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-31881312442557382452013-11-26T05:37:14.591-05:002013-11-26T05:37:14.591-05:00What gems!

I believe you have the ability to capture the essence of a place when you work quickly using such expressive brush work. The colors are also those of November which is certainly a 'fleeting light' time of the year.Caroline Simmillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598525698486576546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-78553847846711365702013-11-25T05:52:41.974-05:002013-11-25T05:52:41.974-05:00Good morning Hilda!...

I call a "buttermilk sky"! I love these skies especially too... because of their mellowing effect on colour throughout the entire landscape<br /><br />LMM has such a wonderful command of language... a grasp of visual language which surpasses the value the printed words themselves. Pure magic to my imagination!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by so often... and for always leaving food for thought!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-21901606677153547152013-11-24T09:44:04.959-05:002013-11-24T09:44:04.959-05:00Oh each painting is a beautiful marvel of this sea...Oh each painting is a beautiful marvel of this season. I love that beautiful buttery yellow you've captured. I often see that color here in this season and I've never managed to get it on paper. The last piece is especially stunning. I so love stone bridges like this one, small streams, and always, the gorgeous autumn trees. I agree with Montgomery's words so wholeheartedly!Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.com
