The light on the tops of these trees caught my attention so I snapped a few photos from the passenger seat of the car. Autumn colors are so hard to do and I know these aren't quite right but maybe I came close to the light effect I wanted. I borrowed fields from both sides to fill in for the highway. 9x9 acrylic on watercolor paper

Thanks Bethany, Wayne and Bart. My photo makes the trees look a little more red than golden but it was fun trying to get that glow.
 
Autumn colors are so hard, it's like our colors can't compete with nature. Donna, your landscape is amazing! Soft and atmospheric. Mist and so much light. Love this one!
 
Hi Grapes and thanks for such a nice comment. I may have overdone it with soft edges but acrylics dry so fast and I was trying to keep the hard edges from taking over. Trying to lighten the values of the leaves without adding white was such a challenge as well.
