This was a commission I did for Christmas.  The only stipulations placed upon it were that it be of Long Pool in Pope County.  I rarely paint high color fall scenes so I took this opportunity to stretch and give it a try.  The customer was very happy with the result and so was I!

Here is a studio piece done from photo references collected during my southeast Arkansas trip.  This was just a happenstance find.  I was almost out of Drew County when I saw this flash of yellow across a swampy pond.  I pulled as far off the road as I could and ran over and took as many pictures as I could without getting hit by traffic.  Now, there wasn't a whole lot of traffic, but what there was traveled pretty fast!

This one is from a few years back but I still like it.  I had posted it to my other blog but I am going to slowly work to phase that out and delete it eventually. Sometimes, I get on a still life kick in the fall.  I didn't happen this year because I was so intent of completing the works from my southeast Arkansas trip.  These three leaves were from maple tree on the trail behind our house. I just couldn't resist trying to get these colors down.

There are some things I see here I would like to get back into my current work.

First Light at Gunner Pool, Stone County

First Light at Gunner Pool

My first new county of 2013!  1 down, 19 to go.

Gunner Pool is in the Ozark National Forest near Blanchard Springs Caverns.  It was a crisp fall morning when we got there that turned into a warm day.
