Last weekend I participated in a Plein Air event in Fairfield, Illinois. I was driving around the back roads of Fairfield looking for a place to paint when I drove by this beautifully lit, winding path. The scene became my inspiration for this small masterpiece. It was a rainy day with no sign of letting up, so I decided to paint inside my car: a small Honda Fit!! It's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it.
As a painter, I always look for contrast in color and light when choosing a plein air location. Even though it was raining, the fall leaves were illuminated. I am pleased with the results.
