"Fall Birch" was completed from sketches done one fall afternoon at Westville Lake Dam in Sturbridge Massachusetts. The sketches include the time, date and details of the weather conditions and colors I saw that day. I lived close to this area at the time and I walked around at least on a weekly basis so I knew the area well. Color notes can change by the minute so it is important to get down what I see in small patches of color. That being said, I also choose to leave the work open to what I remember and how the image works on my emotions. The sky was gorgeous that day, looking up at this tree I was awestruck at how beautiful it was. The sky became more intense in its blue and the leaves brighter than I originally saw them as a result.
