Starting a fall scene...

After doing snow scenes before winter arrives, I have decided to do some fall scenes before it is over!    This is a scene from Hope Valley, of an aspen grove.  This is a watercolor underpainting on PastelBord.  When it is dry, I will do the pastel over it. 

We just got back from a short visit to Louisville, Kentucky.  We visited Churchill Downs Racetrack during the off-season and took tours there of the barns.  We also saw an exhibit about Secretariat.
