There's something about autumn that makes me want to slip on my boots, warm coat, scarf and just walk. Especially on days like this where the setting sun creates a warm glow on everything it touches. I've painted my fair share of autumnal landscapes and it can be difficult to find something new that really fires me up. This scene did just that and my hope is that it has the same effect on you!

I encourage all abilities to give it a go, it's a fun one;)

Happy painting,
Michael
