Early Autumn Bog |
The gorgeous autumn tree colors, and the calendar say October, but the daytime temperatures would have you thinking May or September - warm and dry. This is perfect weather for plein air painting. The cranberry bogs are particularly pretty just before the flooding and harvest. They get a distinctly crimson chroma, contrasting beautifully with the green bog fringe. Of course the surrounding trees are often wildly colored and even clashy with the cranberry red color scheme. But that's where a painter can even out the disharmony with a touch of cranberry color throughout. See if you can spot where crimson brushwork softens the greens!
