October Evening

October Evening, 5 by 7 inches oil
The top of the almond tree that was visible
I take a few evening strolls on my roof terrace that is quite big, if I feel too lazy to get out for my walks and while I was at it, just the top of an almond tree that is down the street was visible. Loved the way the leaves were turning red. This tree is important to many locals, there is a regular fruit and flower vendor setting up a make shift shop under the tree.There is a bullock with a cart that is being tied to the tree by its owner for whatever reason! There is also a dog that is permanently stationed here.But I am not too sure if any one is observing the transition in the leaf color, every one is so busy except of course me! So when I realized that the evening should not be allowed to go waste after enjoying the autumn color, I did this painting, more out of the mood and intuition than anything else.The fifteen minutes of creativity definitely added value to my evening.:-)

    Such a pretty painting in a such short time: it is an absolute stunner, which I am sure only a seasoned artist like you can do.
