Painting an Autumn Landscape (Timelapse)

- This painting depicts Arrowtown in the South Island of New Zealand, about a 10-minute drive from Queenstown. Chontele and I spent our honeymoon there back in April. This will be the first in a series of paintings based on that trip.
I used oil paints, brushes, and palette knives on 12 by 16 inch Ampersand Gessobord.
My overall thoughts: It was a challenging subject, but I’m pleased with how it turned out. The colors have a nice “pop” to them, it reads clearly, and it still has a freshness about it. There’s always room for improvement of course! I could have been more efficient in my approach and done a better job with the play between light and shadow on the path.

Wow, Dan! This is gorgeous!
What amazing process! The ocres and greens with the light blue made a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing!
I was reading your tips on muddy colors. It made good sense to me, except I am still confused about cool & warm light sources, as I try to apply it to this video on autumn landscapes. You stated, "If the primary light source is warm (yellow/orange), then restrain the cool colors. The warmer the light source, the more you restrain the cool colors. If the primary light source is cool (blue), then restrain the warm colors. The cooler the light source, the more you restrain the warm colors.". In your autumn scene, would the sunlight - reflected off so many trees - be considered warm (golden), cool (from the blue sky) or neutral (full-spectrum sun)?
This is my favorite painting of yours(that I've seen) and the style I aspire to. I love the thick impasto, the whole thing looks like it's on fire, like you could reach out and touch it.
Also, the little bit of blue up top is so important to this, it gives a small breathing room to where you feel like you can still breathe even though you're covered in leaves
Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing Dan!!
Sublime balance, and movement. Bravo!

Beautiful
