"Day 20" 12x9 original oil painting by Artist Kristina Sellers

Every year there are those pioneering trees that just can't wait to show their true colors before all the others. This was one of them. A standout in the woods, practically a beacon. What a pleasure to dip into those warm shades on my palette and mimic its wayward leaves.
This painting was created en plein air and has expressive thick brushstrokes.
