Weather Change

Coming home the other evening I saw the strangest cloud formation.  I realized it was the cooler rain clouds of fall pushing out the last of the fair weather.
Had our first frost last night, guess I got this done just at the right time.

Evening Snow

Painting to get ready for the December show at WICA, "Winter Inspired" I have used pastel colored watercolor paper and drawn a back drop of deciduous trees in ink with acrylic detailing trying to create the feeling of a light snowfall at twilight.  The evenings are beginning to come earlier every day.

Coming home on the ferry the other evening there was the start of a beautiful sunset over the sound.

Fall's Final Fling

A reworking of an older painting for the "Colors of Autumn" show at Artworks Gallery.

Fall’s Final Fling

As it begins to darken, a little sooner each day 

We feel summer slipping, further away.  

Autumn surrounds us 

And we savor the vivid hues of natures final fall gifts. 

Our gardens are filled with Asters and Chrysanthumus 

Dragonflies weave through the drifting leaves, 

Soon we’ll hear the rhythmic music of soft fall showers, 

The season of gray days will be on us. 

 The unframeable chrysanthemum portrays the futility of the human effort

 to control nature.
