The Palette of the Season

This photograph is by a friend of mine Ron Nicholl. I love his work mainly because he seems to find things a little unusual. I love this photograph with the palette of fall.

Everything these days is bathed in yellows and orange. That isn't my normal, preferred palette. I love blues. I mean ridiculously so. Sometimes I have to force myself to stay away from blue so all my work doesn't look the same. But these days as the gorgeous color streams through my windows I find myself wanting to paint those twinges of green, orange and yellow.

The snow appeared on the mountains yesterday. My heart jumped with excitement. I can't wait for the world to be bathed in white. The blanket of snow out the window feels like a blank canvas. My colors feel brighter, warmer and more energetic.

I hope you have been able to enjoy the colors of fall wherever you are.
