Watercoloring Fall
Andrew Wyeth, Maine Door, watercolor on paper, 1970, Private Collection
There is something about the fall season that makes for appealing art. I love a good pumpkin painting or an autumn tree. I've gathered some paintings, mostly watercolors, that depict the season. Let's start with a few works by the incredibly skilled and talented Andrew Wyeth from Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Happy fall!
Andrew Wyeth, Picking Apples, watercolor and charcoal on paper on board, 1945
Andrew Wyeth, Pumpkin Hill, watercolor and drybrush on paper on board, 1977, Private Collection
Theses spooky scenes, by Andrew Wyeth, are perfect for Halloween.
Andrew Wyeth, Bert's Cabin, watercolor and ink on paper, 1947, Private Collection
Andrew Wyeth, After Lunch, watercolor, drybrush and pencil on paper, c.1991, Private Collection
Wyeth may or may not shown fall in the painting below. It definitely captures what it can look like after an autumn rainstorm. Isn't the texture lovely?
Andrew Wyeth, Waldboro Woods, watercolor and gouache on paper, 1947, Private Collection
Andrew Wyeth, Carrying Corn, watercolor and pencil on paper, 1933
Pierre Daura, Corn Shocks and Jump Mountain, 1950
Pierre Daura(1896 -1976), Autumn Trees, possibly Rockbridge County, Virginia
AJ Casson (1898 -1992), a Canadian and part of the group of seven, created these next works of art, some in oils, others in watercolor. Their graphic quality is similar to that of other artists from the group of seven, artists who worked to capture the beauty of the Canadian landscape. His simplified forms and color palette remind me of Georgia O'Keeffe fall paintings.
AJ Casson, Road at Yantha Lake
Does anyone else think these clouds are pretty spectacular?
AJ Casson, October Storm
Can you believe all the color in this nearly monochromatic painting?

Hope you enjoyed the fall images. I've collected a few more-
