Living in Texas, I'm lucky to have beautiful outdoor spots. I enjoy mixing the bright colors of fall with the softer tones of the ground, especially when the sun sets. I'm inspired by artists like Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne, who painted nature beautifully. They help me see the magic in how light and colors play together outside. I welcomed the challenge of combining the strong Fall colors which were still brightly lit by the setting sun and the subdued tones of the ground.
