I painted this today at the Eastbank Esplanade. My initial plan was to include the bridge and a bicyclist, but I stopped myself when I realized that the tree and path was pretty cool all by itself. "Simple" is sometimes just the ticket.To see what the others did today go HERE.

Celeste, this isn't just "pretty cool" - it's mega-cool! I really like the expressive strokes pushing my eyes towards the trees. I'm curious, though, how you ended up with such a Autumn looking palette in the middle of Spring?

haha Don, I painted this is your medium..acrylics (which I really don't get--I can't judge how they will dry) plus I saw that hudson school look happening..so I "went with it". (plus, this tree was not that light leafy green--it was more dark dark green). Thanks for asking~!
This is acrylic? You've inspired me to try this. What a gorgeous scene. Yes, sometimes less is more.
Bel ensemble de couleurs
This is terrific Celeste! Knowing when to stop - what a gift!
I agree, Celeste. Enough is enough and your painting says it all! Love the reds in the foliage!
Beautiful capture of light and the effect it has on nature's colors, Celeste. Your work is always so lovely and eye opening for me.
Hah! Your post is very like mine today in the simplicity theme.
This is just lovely, Celeste. When you simplify the elements, your brushwork, color and strong composition really come to the fore. Great job.
I really think this is awesome, Celeste! I love the composition and the simplicity of it. And, as Don said, your brush strokes are expressive and energetic and takes the eye exactly where it needs to be! Well done!
Gorgeous colors - another one that borders on abstraction.
Oh, wow! You stopped at the right time.
I think this is one of my all-time favorites.
So glad you stopped...no figures needed!
Awesome work--in acrylics no less! Phenomenal color choices.
This is just wonderful Celeste! So expressive, yet loose in rendering.
I like it! I agree with a previous poster, who mentioned the "fall" feeling to it. nice.
