Foliage Check In

Robert Frost Interpretative Trail

A quick trip for lunch to the Robert Frost Interpretative Trail on a sunny afternoon to check on the foliage progress today was nice. I didn't walk around much. 

At the higher mountain elevations there are more trees showing colors than middle and lower elevations. Along Route 125, there are colors in a tree here and there. At this stage, peak will take few more days. I expect this weekend and all of next week will be the best leaf peeping. 

A Finished Painting

The Adirondack Mountains From Addison, Vermont
Acrylic on canvas hardboard
16 x 12 inches

The painting is finished.

It looks better in person than in the photograph.

Does that mean I'll change it? Probably.

For now, it is as it is.

I prefer to glue cotton duck canvas onto hardboard because it is easier to ship and frame. It can be heavier. Easy to frame because the profile is thin enough to fit into ready-made frames.

Same painting with smoother clouds and snow
