Autumn, in Canada, means colour. Usually, the colour range can be quite contrasting for an artist. Nature turns into an painting pallet, where yellow,green ,purple and crimson predominate. For this particular work, Rhyn has chosen the path of tonalism. The canvas is basically filled throughout with yellow ochre, in various tones, and as needed, darkened by burned scienna. The atmosphere thus becomes inviting, mellow, relaxing, and spectacularly, beautiful.
