Autumn Surprise
by Karen Mathison Schmidt
an fauve autumn landscape painting
from memory & imagination

6 x 6 • acrylic on 1/8" thick Gessobord
SOLD • private collection, Puyallup, Washington
I did this painting from memory and imagination as a kind of color & texture exercise. It turned out to be a celebration of color. I used a brushes and a palette knife, layering on color glazes. The idea for the title came from the fact that since it had been stormy and rainy and overcast almost all the way through October, I didn’t really notice the leaves changing color until the sun came out last week and voilà! The colors of fall have emerged!
