Country Road in September

After working on house and computer stuff since the last post I rewarded myself with a 3-day palette knife workshop with Mike Windberg at the Windberg Art Center in Georgetown, Tx. I felt out of my comfort zone and I had a rough start on the first day. The next day it felt better and I had fun painting. I learned a lot and I'm still digesting all the instructions we got.

Here's the first painting I did in the workshop. I'm pretty happy with it! I like the back lit trees and their glowing leaves.

Country Road in September is really very nice, Johanne. The golden trees are special and I love your shadows!
