October Sky for Sheila from Liz

acrylic on paper


Fall is my favorite season. I love the deepening, more intense colors, the cool snap to the air,  the quickened pace.  Free from summer's humid weight, life feels sharper, clearer, more textured.  Light is lower, shadows longer, richer, and more mysterious. I imagine the trees are relieved to drop the burden of holding up all of those leaves, and sing when they decorate the landscape.


Wishing you a bountiful new season. xo

  6. I agree with Vern, your poetry rivals the beauty of the painting itself. And speaking of texture, you sure got some in with acrylic, which I've never managed. But you feel about fall like I do, and it's wonderful seeing that expressed so... deliciously, is the only word I can think of.
