"Summer's End" Oil on 8x6 inch board

"Summer's End" Original Oil painting 

sold

This painting was painted as the calendar changed from summer to autumn.  It shows a faded rose, and the last few blackberries picked from my garden.  The yellow flowers bloom in late summer and last all through fall.  I hadn't time to finish this painting before the set up had all wilted.  So, I was able to use a picture I had taken of it, and some fresh flowers and berries.  

My set up after about a week.

I have a picture on my ipad, to the left, and fresh berries, and flowers on the easel.

This is the original set up, and the underpainting on the day I began.

 

Progress on the second day.
