Just another day in the studio

Looking outside the window I can see the trees turning red, orange, and gold. The days are cooler and shorter and the air is filled with the scent of apples, pumpkins and wood smoke. My dining room has been "asking" for a new artwork to help dress up the house for the season and I obliged. I decided to go with the chunky, impasto texture and utilize my palette knives to do the job. The subjects are obvious, pumpkins, fall leaves, bare trees set the mood beautifully.
