In “Morning Mist - September”, Casson shows off his mastery of colour in a fall landscape. The misty overcast subdues the leaves to hues of burnt ochre, sparing only the vibrant evergreen trees that punctuate the scene. Dense forest landscapes such as this gave Casson the opportunity to not only play with colour but also with texture and depth through a series of thin layers.
