October 6×6

I had a short 2-hour window the other morning and decided on a whim to paint this small 6×6 landscape from a photograph.  My experience so far with photographs is that I have a tendency to over work the painting.  Without the moving sun and changing light there is far too much time to think and fuss, which for me leads to a loss of spontaneity, and a dull and static feel to the painting.  I am not suggesting that this painting is full of life, but I am pleased with the result.  To me it has qualities that I desire in a painting.

Thanks for viewing!
