The weather was uncharacteristically warm this weekend, it was like spring but with fall leaves. These trees were in Park Angrignon, the ground was almost completely covered in orange and red leaves. Light was illuminating the shadows with an array of coloured tints.

The pond was reflecting the trees, creating a kaleidoscope of blue sky and earth oranges and olives. Painting reflections in water is one of the hardest things, the water casts different highlights, and leaves floating on the surface create more texture. Close to the shore you can see the bottom of the pond through the water.

I painted this strange scene just to see if the composition was any good. The circular window of the Angrignon station was down a steep slop of grass, and a bus was parked on the left. The window of the bus was reflecting the trees, and the sun was backlighting everything.
