Fall Creeping In

Decided to get back into the larger paintings of landscapes.. I think I have decided that is my strength. This one is an acrylic on canvas. 40x30". I wanted to bring in some fall colors that are beginning to creep into the fields near our house. The mornings and evenings are cool, and days arent as warm as they were even last week. I feel pretty good about this painting. Sometimes Im not quite sure if im finished, and they just feel that something else is needed to finish it off strongly, but thats not the case with this one. I also will be framing this one with a wood boarder. I will take a picture once I do that. The colors on the actual painting are hard to get exact with a photo, but its somewhat close.

Cash Register Building, Denver

While I have been working on a large commission painting I have done a few smaller watercolor studies. Thought of trying a skyline painting. This watercolor is of the Cash Register Building, Mailbox Building, Wells Fargo Building... whatever you want to name it. It just a small study(took like 3 hours) measuring about 8"x8". I placed it in an offset opening mat measuring 16"x20". Hanging on the wall at work.. aka the only outside the home gallery I have.
