Description
Sometimes autumn, when you're out in the country expecting to enjoy the glory of brilliant leaves and golden fields at their most colorful, can turn into a disappointment. You might find yourself driving the country roads on a day when the clouds have taken over and the light becomes dim and hushed. Even the most picturesque scenes can lose their punch on days like that.
But the earth-tones and dull light can have a simple magic all their own. The coming-on of winter can herald many contrary thoughts and feelings ... of endings ... of goings ... but also of cookies baking in the oven and warm fireplaces lit for the first time after the stuffy heat of summer.
It's all about the light for many of us ... but sometimes the more somber tones of the coming-on of winter can be beautiful, too.
This image was actually inspired by a couple of songs from Joni Mitchell ... "Urge For Going" and "River" ... both of which have been playing in my head for days.
Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."

Very lovely - great usage of filters.
Lois Bryan replied:
Thanks so much, Susan!! This was not created with filters ... I hand-paint, digitally in Corel Painter, using my own, original photographic images (as in not from stock sources), as inspiration. It's lots of fun!!
