Description
As the August days skitter by, we find the teeth of the summer sun and the oppressive heat beginning to dull and our thoughts turn to the welcome relief of cooler temperatures. Leaves on the trees begin to look a bit duller, some few here and there even begin to turn and drop. The skies and the light is different than it was just a few weeks ago.
Autumn is on her way.
The days and months of crisp air, blue skies and amazing, brilliant color are coming, and I for one am grateful.
This image was captured at one of my favorite spots, the Juniata Crossings Country Mercantile in Everett, PA in October of 2010.

If you're ever on route 30 between Bedford and Breezewood, look for the Mercantile and make sure you stop in!
I was using the Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm vr Nikkor lens, my trusty friends. After snapping, it sat in one computer after another ... always liked it but never quite sure it had enough zip. I finally re discovered it in my old computer the other day and thought it might be fun to stick it into Corel Painter and have a go. I enjoyed the process, and hope you enjoy the fully, digitally hand-painted results. To see the fun painterly stuff properly here online, you'll need to click into the image for the 100% preview. The added texture is one of my favorites which I've used countless times, from Jerry Jones.
