Fall had just started to come to Kentucky and the vibrant green was in the beginning phases of turning to brilliant yellows. Kentucky is known for its old stone walls. I grabbed my palette knife and just started working. The paint is thick and heavy and dramatic and the light was changing so fast I just had to move as fast as I could. I later found out that this stone wall was the remnant of the graveyard of the original family that still owned this land.
