TM9163 Wake Me Up, September! 36×36 oil on panel

Wake Me Up, September! is one of many paintings that will be going to shows later this year. I’ve been fooling around with color and new ways to layer it, enjoying a bit more saturation too. I think it’s partly because autumn is so bright, but it’s also a new appreciation of what saturation can accomplish – the way it delivers a thrill. Details below. Enjoy.
