Some of the trees are starting to change colour, mostly the yellow leaves. This scene was done on the garden terrace just in front of our condo, I was sitting on the brick retainer wall. Thanks to the lazy garden maintenance crew there were a lot of leaves on the grass. Normally they drop by with gas powered leaf blowers. The sun was low casting long shadows across the textured lawn.

Just before sunset I found this scene at the front of Benny Sports complex. I had to paint it fast because the sun was almost down. Most of the colours were made with isoindo yellow (PY110) along with benzi yellow (PY154) and various greens (PBk31 asnd PG36). Orange and green are actually a lot closer than you thing, some greens like the pine trees in the distance are almost orange. In the middle of green and orange is olive, or khaki. the brilliant red on the bush at the left is pyrol red (PR254 and PR255).
