Where's the Fall Color?

I was hoping to come to Wisconsin Rapids this week, to see the fall color. One of the paintings for the conference room will be featuring fall colors. I have roughed in the skies for both of the paintings for the conference room. I'm hoping to paint en plein air on both of these paintings. The fall color report online says peak color will be the first week in October. Depending on the weather I will be coming back to paint at Demitz Park sometime between September 26th and October 3rd. I will keep my eye on the fall color reports and the weather and do another post when I firm up the date.

Here are some teasers - the skies are, while not finished, fairly well described. Every time I've scouted or painted in Rapids the skies have been quite dominant. These paintings will reflect that. They will also speak to the new Tribune Building project as a bridge for the community. Bridges connect people and places.
