There’s a lot of movement throughout this painting. In the background, a shifting zigzag of bright blue sky is framed by puffy white clouds.Brisk Day. 60″ x 30″, Acrylic on Linen, © 2022 Cedar Lee
The sun, while not directly visible, fills the clouds with a glowing light.

The autumn leaves are a range of colors from green to yellow, orange, red and brown, and they are sparse on the countless tiny branches, indicating that we are deep into the fall season and many of the leaves have already fallen.

The overall effect is the brilliance of a cold and sunny day. It brings to mind the sound of leaves crunching underfoot.

Notice that I made the branches of one painting reach off the edges of the canvas and into the other canvas!

The huge scale of these paintings is hard to convey in photos. Seeing them in person is a different experience!
