Geese and Gouache

Fall time. Painting outdoors, your fingers go numb and soon the rest of the body too, but it's worth it -- the colours, the colours! It was a grey and bitter day, so I brought a piece of grey cardboard, some ink and white gouache. Next, I let a little autumnal watercolour seep into the thick paper mass.   



VoilĂ . By the way; the birds, my cackling company while freezing and painting, were Barnacle Geese. We have plenty.
