here is a little bit of autumn for you, something i painted a few years ago. i would probably paint autumnal pictures all year long but i try to wait until it is seasonal. this looks like stathmore paper and maybe winsor and newton watercolors. I usually use Daniel Smith watercolors now and I recently switched to Arches Cold press watercolor paper. But I will sometimes just grab whatever comes to hand - I am afraid I have a bit of a paper hoard.

Between the season of falling leaves and sad news in the world I am feeling melancholy. the internet suggest this state is caused by having too much "black bile" - do they mean coffee?

well anyway, i hope for a quiet weekend.
