This is my last painting of a 2016 autumn scene. It was started  at the beginning of the fall season, when the color was just  developing, and finished at the end. I felt it took forever for the trees to change; but in these last days the colors became very beautiful.

My hometown, Camp Hill is especially beautiful in the Spring and in the Fall, but compared to last year's Fall season, this fall has been quite dull and underwhelming. Happily, though, last Friday, the sky was blue and clear and the strong sunlight created deep, rich shadows. And on Dickenson Ave in Camp Hill, I found stunning color and value contrasts to photograph and paint.
