New England Fall

While walking my dog in the neighborhood, I stumbled across this house with a beautiful fall tree in font.
The scene seems very new england to me.
There was something about the red house that made me think how these colors coming together created a fall scene.

I started this painting and finished the painting with a brush. I established the big shapes with color and then added a few details.

I always establish the light key by creating a warm color for the sky. I use different colors for blue clear skies.
 If I want to establish a sunny clear sky I never just use light blue, I usually mix a warm color into my sky to give it the feeling of light.
