Today's painting was another loon. This time in an autumn scene. I love the autumn in my neck of the woods. The leaves change, birds are migrating, the air becomes crisp. After the first frost the bugs are pretty much absent. The days get shorter and snow starts making it into everyone's minds. It's a very beautiful time of year. Pumpkin pie, apple crisp, and cider. Yum.
This was a rather large 16x20 stretched canvas. I wanted autumn leaves reflecting in the water of a small lake or pond. Loons tend to be solitary. At least I rarely see groups of them when I'm out canoeing, so I assume they are solitary. Their call is unique and echoe across the lake.
