Autumn River Mist

 
 
In fall, we get fog along the river
and it moves as mist through the trees on the farm,
creating a lovely scene with the fall colors softened in the distance.

Autumn Country Road

 
 
Autumn is such a beautiful time of year, 
that it can lend a cheerful and glorious ambience
 to this once vibrant and productive farm,
now overgrown and returning to it's natural state.
 ​I wonder how many families have lived in
and enjoyed life in this old abandoned country farm house.
Maybe a new family will take up the challenge
and bring life back to the rooms and land.

 depicting some of the bounty harvested in fall:
 acorns, pumpkin, squash, pomegranates.
 
Collecting seasonal art work,
 means you can switch out your art to reflect the seasons and holidays.

Blue Rain

 
 
Painted for DPW "Party Dress" challenge. 
 I originally began this painting in acrylics a couple years ago.
 Never finished it until now - repainted it in oils.
I wanted to style this painting after John Singer Sargent's paintings of women,
 but a little more modern, by giving her a Vera Wang evening gown,
and long hair worn down on her shoulders.
My nod to Sargent's era is the long lace scarf.

Catching Tadpoles

 bring the children out to the river.
These kids are catching tadpoles in jars
 - or maybe it's crawdads.

Autumn Fire

 
 
This is a place where the fall colors
are so brilliant and riotously beautiful,
with a seasonal creek that runs though their bright reds, oranges and golds.
  The fallen leaves float down this placid stream.
This is a palette knife work.
