November - Monthly Painting Challenge

I recently took a photograph on the outskirts of Kemptville, Ontario, with what I thought was a not so typical day in November. We often remember the month of November with shadows of gray. But from time to time, we do enjoy a nice sunny day. Leaves mostly on the ground and plenty of textures from grass type of vegetation that will soon be flattened with all the inevitable coming snow.


However, I must say that after I started painting this scene, I became more aware of other possible November like scenes with beautiful cloudy skies and sunsets and magnificent shades of colors. I guess that may become some day another painting. In the meantime, I am getting geared up for the December monthly painting challenge!
