With October firmly behind us, the focus on my favorite season of the year is in full swing. My painting palette always seems to take a tilt toward the warmer oranges of leaves on the ground, and the blues and purples of long shadows on the lawns. Skies take on a deeper blue, and if we're lucky here in San Diego, the brilliant and puffy white clouds will soon make their appearance. It's the happiest time of the year...take a deep breath and enjoy it!

"October Shadows" is painted in the vivid, rich colors of Fall, on 1-1/2" depth gallery wrapped canvas, sides painted black, ready to hang and enjoy. The inspiration for this painting was to capture the long, morning shadows beneath a row of trees along Presidents Way in Balboa Park.
