Autumn Color Combo 11x14 oil on canvas I wanted to find fall color when I went out to paint with my friend Jill. We found a great spot on a high bluff overlooking the small town of Glen Rose.  It wasn't long before city workers drove up a dirt hill to run me off! lol. I packed up quickly and moved along. That's when I discovered this colorful scene. To purchase or see more http://www.sherijonesart.com Sheri@sherijonesart.com http://www.sheriart.blogspot.com.
