Autumn trees are my favorite. So back at taking pictures and trying to paint em. I remember spending hours on trees to get them this far. Progress! Plus this time I noticed highlights I never noticed before so I tried to capture that for the first time.
How’d I do?

Love the colors and the highlights definitely help give it more dimensionality.
Thank you!
I’ve been painting the tree in my front yard all year. I have 1 autumn version, but ready to do another. Your time lapse is great to see how you did this. I’ve been trying to do better. My wife says my prayers is my best because it shows depth. I’ve done abstract versions of my tree, too. I like both approaches (realistic and abstract).
Can I see these paintings?
Amazing to watch the video, thanks so much for sharing.
You’re welcome and I’m glad you like the video! The app needs a patch to fix the tiny preview of the completed work. Hope they patch that soon.
You did treemendously.
Apologies for the awful pun. As a sort of “speed painting”, that’s exceptionally good though - there’s a lot of colour, light and shadow you’ve packed into that in a short amount of time.
Lol love the pun. I wood have missed it had you not pointed it out. And thank you!
What a colour beauty 👏
Thank you!
Yeahhhh this is gorgeous. Coming from the kind of weirdo who remembers the most beautiful trees from eras of my life, better than the people sometimes - ya really captured it, for me.
I’d love to be that kind of weirdo! Trees are wonderful and deserve an honored place in our minds.
Beautiful
Thank you!
This looks amazing, very great work.
Thank you!
I love trees, then I’m reminded their leaves with be my problem and then I’m ambivalent towards them for a bit.
Allergies?
Actually no! Township doesn’t want huge piles of leaves so we have to thin them out so that means we have to ask the guy who does that to do that, and I have to give him many jars of candied jalapenos and I don’t have any jars of candied jalapenos currently so I have to can more!
Wait a minute… What is a candied jalapeno? I think I need this in my life.
They’re sometimes called Cowboy Candy, but Candied Jalapenos are the generic name! This is the recipe I use! https://www.ballmasonjars.com/blog?cid=candied-jalapenos
You captured the colours well!
Thank you! It’s my favorite part of these trees.
