"Glimpse of Gold"
Oil 11 x 14
I was in a hurry one morning, on my way into
Carlisle for an appointment when I saw these
sugar maples in all of their golden glory. All I
could think about was that I hoped I could get
a picture of them on my way home, and I
prayed the whole time I was in the doctor's
office that when I got back to the scene the
light would be the same.
I was lucky on two counts - I always carry
my camera with me, and my appointment
was very short so I was able to get some
great photos with the light just as I had wanted.
This is the first of two paintings that I hope
to do from that experience.

What a beautiful autumn scene, Claire. How wise to always carry a camera with you. I intend to do the same when my camera arrives. I find the light interesting, almost like after a rain...I can hear myself kicking through those leaves, can smell the mulch of them...Sigh...my favorite season of them all!
Lovely colors - so glad you could get the shot for this (and smart to always carry your camera - something I need to make myself do). I admire how the trees on the left lead us into the golden area and the far trees and that blue sky.
This is a beautiful painting.
Wonderful scene, painted beautifully!
Gorgeous hues!
Claire - the way the foliage has been painted here is wonderful. I have a 'foliage/tree' work on the go and I am finding it so difficult. Last time I painted trees I was in high school! Love the paintwork on the tree trunk on the left.
Thank you, everyone!
This is lovely Claire, you caught that light beautifully.
Wonderful, Claire! I love the sunlit edge of the tree foliage!
This is a beautiful painting, Claire. Glad you had that camera.
Claire! I love your trees, I see you have a fascination with them to. Well-done as is all of your work.
Great atmosphere! Love all the blues next to that beautiful gold.
Thanks for the encouraging comments everyone!
