November is a gloomy time of year in the Mid-Atlantic region - daylight savings time ends, making the days feel shorter, and fall color peaks early in the month and quickly fades to browns and greys. Cold weather blows in, erasing the gentle temperatures of autumn, and clouds block out what little sunlight that remains. This painting was inspired by a walk around a local lake with friends this weekend. We see the last sparks of autumn color as the sun swings low behind the trees and clouds on a cold and dreary day.
