I was thinking about doing several angels but since there is a lot of detail to do I just decided to do one and have a small child chasing a butterfly. She is protecting him from falling off of the cliff. I am always inspired about angels and how they watch over us and God sending them out.
Psalms 91:11 "For he will his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways."
I was inspired to do this autumn scene because I like this season of the year with the leaves changing many beautiful colors. We do not have much changing here where I live unless you go to East Texas or the hill country.
This painting has a lot of bright colors which I like and the blue in the water to compliment the orange in the trees as well as the rust colors. It has dark browns, as well as rust colors, oranges, yellow, yellow oranges, reds, and some greens. I sketch out some of the painting to know where I am going with the painting so it will be easier.
When I grew up in West Virginia the autumn time was very beautiful and my sister and I would go and pick leaves that had fallen off of trees to see how many colors we could find, different shapes and sizes. Our parents would take a drive sometimes on the weekend and we would go to the Allegany Mountains or other counties that surrounded the county where we lived which was Mineral.
I like the coolness in the air at autumn, NFL football games as well as college and high school games and having hot chocolate, caramel apples or popcorn balls which I don't eat much.
Psalms 24:1 "The earth is the Lords; and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwelleth therein."
