Ten days or so ago the Saturday sketch group spent a warm sunny afternoon at Greenwood Park, which south of the Des Moines Art Center. The park contains an amphitheater, woods, walking paths, gardens, artwork, and a big pond. I spent a couple of hours along the bank where ornamental trees were just starting to change color. The bright yellow-orange of their foliage against the dark emerald greens of the surrounding woods was almost artificially bright.

Fall is a great time for sketching. I'm traveling this week in Florida, where autumn never penetrates, but expect more of these when I return, as Autumn reaches its peak.
