Excellent work, beautiful colors!

I was able to fix the tiny bare spots using solvent and a stiff brush and working the surrounding paint in very carefully. I think the problem was using a store bought pre-stretched canvas that only had one layer of gesso. I now am very careful to buy triple primed ones!

Joy, you are correct!  I thought I had completely covered the canvas with the underpainting!  They are tiny little specks of white canvas.  I think they showed up after the painting dried, and I took this photo while it was still fairly wet.

I am honored by these compliments about this painting and the fall painting!   I'm a little worried about this painting as now that it's dry I see some little white spots that didn't get covered by paint.  I'm afraid to do anything to ruin it. Any ideas on how to resolve that carefully?  Manneherrin, I do like to have my underpainting show.  I feel like this and the other land/farmscape I recently posted could be my identifying style (something that has eluded me so far).  I have had a "professional" tell me that leaving bits of underpainting showing was one sign of an amateur painter.  Any thoughts on that?

Breathtaking Britt.. I love how you let the under painting peak through in places. Brilliant work
