Description
Aleta Karstad arrived late so I stayed to paint with her and to keep her company. It was almost 5 pm and there was not much time left before twilight. I was setting up my easel on the granite ledge when I felt something hit my chest. I looked high up and could barely make out a gull. It had scored a direct hit from 200 metres or higher. There was a very cool and blustery northwesterly wind so the gull must have really played the wind to shit on me!
The title is based on the idea that the true colours of the deciduous leaves are now only just showing themselves as the process of photosynthesis shuts down due to the lowering light levels and cooling temperatures. The inside colours which were always there, are now being worn outside according to the circumstances of the environment. The leaves are not traitors - they are just being true to themselves.
The turbulent stratocumulus provided a backdrop to the changing colours of the trees.
