Sunday morning at Café Skansen, Oslo, with bikes and leaves and sunshine

Last week felt like the last shout of 'Hurrah for Autumn' with buckets of sunshine and beautiful colours on the trees. Café Skansen is just up the road and we walked past it early on Sunday morning, all very quiet and calm, not a soul about. A few days later and the leaves are nearly all gone now and have dropped so quickly. 





I painted this wee picture from a photo which I took that morning rather than  sketching on site, which is probably a bit like cheating at poker, but having confessed, sure it'll be ok.. Next time I'll go on a Saturday afternoon and have loads of red wine and food there, the picture might be a bit wobbly but great fun to paint, (and the service is great too.)
