Autumn Tree.

Continuing with the autumn/harvest theme in Kate's Alumni group, I found the reference photo for this on Flickr. I'm especially happy with the little stream and how it really does appear to be fading away into the horizon. The pigments used on the tree trunk are darker than they appear on the scan - actually, the whole thing is darker than scanned! I enjoyed doing this little landscape and still want to do some more this month.

really LOVE this, and you are right about that stream fading off into the horizon. the colors and everything just seem to work together to pull the whole thing off.

impressive! and i'm terribly jealous ;)!
