Selections from The Autumn Leaf Collection are at the Creativity Studio in Nanton, Alberta

The Autumn Leaf Collection is an exploration of split triad colour theory. Beginning with the earthy orange-reds and yellows that are characteristic of Autumn colours, one arrives on the other side of the colour wheel at a warm blue. The palette is limited then as much as possible to these three colours, plus Titanium white and Payne’s Grey to vary the intensity and tone of these colours. I also mix them to arrive at various greens, violets, and oranges that harmonize with the base colours.

My goal is to capture the essential feel of those few days in late September and early October when the leaves are brilliantly red and yellow – those moments between the dark greens of late summer and the long season of dull browns and greys that so characterize autumn and early winter in Calgary – moments of brilliance so short that we almost miss them in our busy day-to-day lives.
