Our pleasant fall weather will soon be gone so I am enjoying each day and being outdoors as much as possible.  An early frost has nipped a few of my plants but many are left and still blooming, especially those wonderful knockout roses.

 Using my plein aire painting and the photo as a reference, I painted this version in my studio and will use it for a class lesson this Monday evening.   

The plein aire piece and reference photo are below.
