Original artwork description:

Painted on-site at Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis. Features a duet of maple trees in full autumn color. The foliage displays a spectrum of reds ranging from deep burgundy red to rosy red with orange-red and rosy pink highlights. A road and walking path are seen at the base of the trees, and the background displays the autumn landscape of the surrounding park in green, gold, and brown. The overcast sky is shot through with a touch of purple as the light fades into evening, lending the colors a super-saturated look. Painted in oil on canvas. Comes with painted sides and hanging wire. Ready to hang and requires no frame.

Materials used:

oil paint, canvas
