Autumn River 2 in acrylics

I nearly gave up on this one.  I started it and didn't like how it was going so decided to wipe it and paint something else instead.  But after wiping it, the basic elements of the painting were still visible and I still liked the composition so decided to give it another go.  Glad that I started again as I am really pleased with how it turned out.
