NOTE: FINE ART AMERICA WATERMARK WILL NOT APPEAR ON PURCHASED IMAGE.
I've been dipping into the digital paint box again, this time painting a photo I took early last November. I had to be quick as my husband is very particular about letting the leaves lay on the lawn for too long. But "art" won this round, and I got my shot.
This classic image of fall, gourds and a fat pumpkin nestled in a pile of crispy golden leaves, feature the colors of autumn. They're the favorites of many ... sun-washed golds and oranges, punctuated by greens ... seem to exude feelings of comfort and often evoke the wispy ghosts of memory.
Original photographic image taken by myself in November of 2013 with the Nikon D7000 and the Nikkor 105mm lens. Digitally hand painted in a playful impressionistic style in Corel Painter 11 with some tweaks in Photoshop CS5 and CS6.

Lois Bryan replied:
Thank you, Constance. I happen to love the look of the golden leaves on the lawn, but my husband likes to rake / blow / mow and bag them up. I think he heard somewhere that it's better for the grass. (I heard just the opposite, lol!) So it was nice, last year, to get out there and do a little photo shoot!!
