Fall's Final Fling

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







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.
