This Fall's Art at the Mill is opening this weekend, and I'm looking forward to seeing the entire show. I have five painting on display, and am hoping to sell at least one, perhaps more if I'm lucky. The waterccolor above is one of the paintings I did at the Red House Residency that will be on display at the Burwell-Morgan Mill.

The other four paintings I have in this show are botanicals, and have been featured on this blog previously, except this one above. I painted this one as a demo during one of my plein aire watercolor classes in 2019, and it turned out so nice that I decided to frame it for this show. This landscape was rather complicated, but I managed to simplify it enough to compose well, and the clarity and range of colors gives the feeling of that pleasant afternoon. It was painted in late September, right about the same time of the year as at present--one of those lovely early fall days when the weather is perfect and the sunshine delineates the shadows to highlight the forms.
I hope my readers will stop by and take in the show, which will take place for the next three weekends ending on Oct. 17. There's always something for everyone's taste at Art at the Mill. go see it!
