This is beautiful! I love the collage and mixed media … is this an ‘effect’ or is it actually a collage? Thanks for sharing

I just don’t have words enough to describe what this painting does for me. It totally took my breath away. Excellent work, Terry.

This is one of the best paintings of this type I have seen – it is wonderful. I’ve never used watercolours but do appreciate the skill used in this picture.
Amazing

Wow! This is the most beautiful painting I have seen! It has got emotion and warmth yet it says “I am Autumn and cold and beautiful” I am transported to Autumn. Thank you for such an wonderful experience! Liz

Hi Terry,

This is a very colorful, HAPPY creation! Lovely clean colors are prominent and the interesting textures help the eye to travel throughout your painting.

I would like to comment on the use of color. As I squint down at this piece, I am torn between the left side with the dark accents behind those lovely leaf shapes, and then those exciting bright violet and red/orange shapes hugging the right side of the painting. For me the focal area is torn between the two areas. Maybe have those very bright areas so close to the right side of the painting become a little less pronounced. This could be accomplished with a very thin complementary wash over those areas. The color would still be there….it just won’t be as bright and therefore not detract from the focal area with the leaves.

This is a very energetic and lovely creation! Thanks for sharing with all of us!

Happy creating!

Ingrid

Terry,

Beautiful and inspiring. How about a tutorial showing us your method and techniques?

I would benefit and I am sure other watercolorists would as well.

Hi Terry, this is such a beautiful painting! I agree, a tutorial showing your methods would be great!

Hello Terry,
I really liked your water colored painting. Fall colors came out. I liked the script behind the leaves. I liked the dark behind the leaves. I agree with Ingrid, I would not lighten up
the dark area too much. I think that the piece is a wonderful,
master piece to share and talk about for years to come. Good
Luck, and God Bless you.
