The Sunny Side Of The Street

A glorious autumn day … the kind we wait for all year. But they don’t last long, and they can be elusive. Chasing the light on this particular weekend was challenging; Mother Nature was in a playful mood as I drove around the upper elevations near Blue Knob Mountain in the Claysburg / Pavia area of Central PA. The clouds won most of the time … they even showered me with snow flakes .. more than once! But the hunt was worth it. I love to see the mostly-green colors at the bottom of the mountain, watch the greens turn to golds and scarlets and vermilions as I drive higher and enjoy the darker rust tones at the top, 3000 feet elevation. This was the first time, though, that I noticed colors stopping and starting right across the road from each other!!

Original photograph taken October 27, 2015 with the Nikon D750 and the Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8. Some photoshop tweaking to the image, then several versions hand “painted” for a slightly impressionistic-y look in Corel Painter 2015 with the Wacom tablet.

As always, just click the image and you’ll find yourself at my website where purchase options abound.  Remember … the watermark you see here and that you’ll see there will never appear on your artwork … and there’s a lovely 30-day money back guarantee … did I mention that before?  A nice feature in this day!!!

And also as always, would love to hear your thoughts about the beauties of the season … just leave me a note!!
