Plums and new book

I have made a lot of sketches during last weeks, but have no time to scan or photograph them. Above is small still-life with plums.

Now I am trying to improve my paintings with some books. I am reading Lois Griffel's 'Painting Impressionists Landscape'. It describes Hawthorne's color theory and I really like it. Will try to paint something this way.

Photo from car trip

Yesterday I have taken some photos from car. Now I am trying to make something interesting from this materials.
Here is small color study. I think, that trees are to brown; have to make them more olive. Will try to make new color study today evening.
