Number 3: Fall at Lake Lynn

 I try to walk most days, and Lake Lynn in Raleigh is close by and one of my favorite walks.  I'm always taking pictures along the way and capturing the fall beauty is today's challenge. I'm learning not to be a slave to the photo, which is sometimes hard.  I was watching a video by Stephen Quiller and he talked about taking a photo, doing a sketch based on the photo and then not looking at it again. It’s hard to follow his advice, but with more confidence perhaps it will be easier. Oil on canvas panel. 5 x 7 in.
