Autumn Fire

Capturing the last autumn colours. And getting blown about a little! This is between Acrise and Etchinghill and I’ve long admired the trees on this stretch of quiet road. Didn’t think I could let Charlie 🐶 roam free at first but was glad once I did and he was as good as gold (when I had the gallery he would escape and run off so this is new, good behaviour!). Luckily the easel stayed intact when the painting nearly blew over, thought it wasn’t windy enough to use the guy ropes😖 I woke my poor son up early to come film (thank you Miles!) on a different day than planned as the weather was good ☀️ 🍂 and we now have the van which is a big step forward in terms of being more spontaneous! When the warm sunlight hit those trees it was magical. The original and prints will be available on my website soon (along with a new section about the outdoor work). If you’re impatient please contact me 😀 Sending autumn love ✌🏻 PS The original painting is currently on display (and for sale) at the Folkestone Art Society Autumn Exhibition, Channel Suite, Leas Cliff Hall, Folkestone until November 2nd 10-4
