Fall colors colors can be very garish and I hope I captured the bright colors without detracting from the beauty of the pool at the falls. The actual falls were to the left and behind me. Here is the newly "fixed" painting:
McKinney Falls, TooPastel on Richeson Board
The color in this is pretty good. The blue is a little garish, but that is very difficult to correct in pastel photos. I haven't figured out why. I do know, as I have said before, that taking the photos of the paintings in direct sunlight does help. You do not have to correct in photo software like you do if the photo is taken in shade.
You can see the previous painting and some photos here.
McKinney Falls, previous "fix"
As I was reading my previous blog post, I see that this is the second "fix" to this painting. Sigh..... Maybe the next time I go to McKinney Falls I will get a result that I just love!

'Like it. I like the old (and now gone) one too! :)
I like it too. I'm not usually a fan of fall colors but you've made this just sing.
I like the second fix just fine, but they say third time is a charm:)
Gorgeous color in this!! I can see why you want to go back there again. It looks like a wonderful spot!!! I love the name of your friend's new business!!!
Joanna, thank you, daughter. Hugs.
Jan, thank you. I don't usually do fall paintings.
Bag Blog, thank you. No more do overs! :)
Joan, the McKinney Falls is a great place to go. Not far to carry your painting stuff. Almost in town and not many people around. Thanks.
Jo: Very nice Fall like view of the forest stream.
fishing guy, thank you so much. We don't get the massive fall colors every year, a little sparse this year, too. We have had good moisture this year so maybe this fall we will do better.
