Autumn Burnoff. Glasshouse Mtns. Maleny. Qld

I was up in the mountains this day looking around for subjects to paint. The weather wasn't the best but there was enough light to paint. I chose this scene to paint as the sun was coming and going, I was just about finished when the farmer started burning off and the smoke changed the whole mood of the painting. I just had to paint the smoke in, it created the human touch to the picture. This would look great in any room it was hung in. This picture was painted in oils on mdf panel.
