ahhh, sorry, I thought you were talking about a different location. I thought you were asking about this one below. The one you are asking about, that is actually plein air and that is actually a location in Poland (near Babia Gora) this other one below that I posted recently, that is from a photo!

Photograph of maple leaves showing varying levels of orange/gold intensity. The photo looks like a watercolor painting when as soft focus becomes bokeh

Here’s a girl who’s quiet on the outside but wild on the inside. She loves nature, and she definitely loves finding baby dino eggs. Did she time travel, or did the egg? Would Dino mama be nice when she shows up?

Bonfire night composition from last year. Luckily I've not heard many fireworks go off this evening, so my kittycat Willow will be super pleased!

I put a lot of work into this A4 drawing, but damaged the paper around the edge when I removed the masking tape. So I'm selling this one for less than I should be.

A drawing using a mix of media on A4 acid free paper. The drawing shows two blackbirds, one male and one female among autumn rowan berries and leaves with a blue background. The drawing has an illustrative feel with white outline on the main subjects. PLEASE NOTE: The paper has been slightly damaged by the removal of masking tape and is being sold at a reduced price as a result. see photos for details. This will be barely noticeable when framed. An original art work, please note that the frame is not included. Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper Size A4 (210 x 297mm / 8.3 x 11.7")

Barn Owl studies in my Steamline sketchbook. Such pretty owls, but every bird artist knows, those pesky feathers, each with small spots and that little eye on the end, make for challenging painting!
Watercolor and a bit of colored pencil

🔻 Desert Raven 🔻 oil on panel, 2019
A painting of a raven perched on a desert stone. In this lighting, the feathers of the raven are not black, but have an iridescence, with hues of blue, violet, green, and the warm reds and coppers reflected onto the feathers by the environment.

Leaf-peeping is my favorite thing to do this time of year!
#RedWed #ColorADay #redleaves #red #leaves #fallleaves #fallseason #fall #autumn #autumncolors #autumnvibes #fallweather #leafpeeping #redmaple #photography
A close-up photo of red maple leaves hanging on a tree limb. The leaves behind the ones in the foreground are somewhat blurry and orange in color, and further back the leaves are a blurred out yellow. Blurry greens and brown-ish grays are also in the background, but so blurry that it’s indistinguishable as to what the items might be.

This is a watercolour painting of an auto terminal walk around the park. There's a rainbow on the left and there's some rain clouds on the right. The painting is very loose. There is paint all over the place.
