First frost
Posted: October 28, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized 12 CommentsLast night when I looked out my window, big wet flakes of snow were falling. Nothing stayed on the ground but this first frost killed all the hostas in my garden. I took a break from school prep today to sketch them from my kitchen window. Painted on a block of Arches Cold Press paper, 10″ x 14″.

Alive or wilting they still make a lovely painting.

Ha, I guess we all have the same good blob of hostas. Hope you aren’t procrastinating with the cleanup like I am .

A sad sketch, indeed. But I do like that trace of white on the fence line.

Thanks Jean. A little line of white always helps.

Even your dead hostas are pretty. Unlike ours.
You wrote on a comment that you had a beautiful fall in Montreal. When we drove to Expo all those years ago, I still remember the gorgeous trees in Canada. The color went on for miles.

This has been a good one again. It’s been a while since you were here. Good old Expo. I still have my summer passport from 1967.

What a wonderful autumn palette. I’m enjoying your use of bold dry brush strokes.

Good observation Alison. It’s a new brush that I’m trying. I will share it soon.
