Waning Afternoon

Here's a painting from last weekend, the last bits of autumn color still clinging to some of the trees and bushes, done at Sandstone Ranch. It's amazing how fast the afternoon fades away. I left home around 2 to go paint and as I finished up the sun was dropping behind the mountains already. Even so, I started another but it started getting too dark too fast, so I'll have to finish it another day. Perfect weather for painting. Waning Afternoon, 9 x 12.
