Ahh - such pleasure to sign a new painting - now on it's own - having what is needed to stand alone and convey an experience that engages a viewer.
"Thanksgiving Day" 60 X 48", acrylic on canvas, 2010
Art shipper picks it up next week - and soon it hangs in a Santa Fe gallery!

This is totally gorgeous, David. Now I can't wait for the leaves to change! It really is engaging, as you say.
Wow, this is beautiful even close up. How did you paint all those leaves. I hope the leaves this fall are just as beautiful.
And such a pleasure to see this amazing painting--talk about putting the viewer there--I feel like I could take a stroll under that canopy of golden leaves right now-I can feel the warm sunlight as I pass from the cool shaded areas to the warmer stretches of the path--what a beauty!
this is fantastic. How much will a large painting of yours go for?
This is breathtaking. Such beauty you have captured.
Thanks for the support and kind comments - I enjoy getting feedback - as you all noted - it is large - and the scale really has an impact - and if you could see the piece, Charlotte, I think you would see that the massing of the leaves has an swirling and gestured sense of painterly brushwork - less individuated than it might appear online.
Fay, This piece is shipping to Santa Fe - I am still an emerging artist - so I am in the lower-end of the galleries where I exhibit ... this will be retail priced in the upper 4 figure range... I have not sold this scale previously - so, my preference is to price aggressively to generate sales (as I do with my paintings where I am represented)
That is an entire discussion topic - what are the factors that weigh in determining a selling price for artwork.
Sorry to chatter - -
Thanks for looking.
Absolutely beautiful! I love how the diagonals are working in the compostion, and the swirling patterns of leaves on the road.
agree with Claire...It makes me feel very secure...like being in the womb!
