"Falling Leaves on Aldersgate Hill"

Here is  yet another of my Fall paintings this year.  I never get tired of exploring the different light and atmospheric conditions of a location.  I have painted similar views of this area on other occasions.   In this one I was particularly interested in the contrasts of lights and darks ( and the designs they create) as well as the warms and cools.
