Autumn Beauty

 


Fall is here to stay, I think.

What a beautiful time of the year!

Every fall we would go downtown to a big
City park, with huge trees-
and lots of leaves!
It was great fun to run & jump in piles of
richly colored, crunchy pieces of Autumn.
Nothing quite like it.

Poem by Humbert Wolfe

Fall colors are warm & inviting.
Rich & saturated.
No harsh brights like her brother Summer.
No wish-washy pastels like her sister Spring.
No washed out neutrals or dark blotches
like her sister Winter.

Spiced Apple!
Golden!
Persimmon!
Ochre!

Sounds more like an exotic salad, doesn’t it?!

That’s all for today.

I hope you take the time 
to find a pile of leaves…
and jump in it!

Leaves and Leaves and Leaves!

Welcome!
🍁🍁🍁
‘J is for Jack Frost’ From “The Fairy Alphabet”
By Fanny Young Cory
1877 - 1972

I got to crunch some leaves today.
Big, dry, crunchy leaves!
I kind of forgot how fun that was.
When is the last time you crunched some leaves?

This kaleidoscope always makes me think of Indian corn colors.

I came across a very interesting Leaf Craft, 
While browsing through Pinterest.



Aren’t those cool looking?
Anybody can ‘doodle’.
I would use a juicy white paint pen, so as to not tear the leaf.

The top photo shows more ‘zentangle’ type decoration,
While the bottom photo appears to be more doodling style.

W. Wordsworth quote
Unknown artist

I am saving a zentangle post for later.

People do quite a bit more with leaves and art also.
Sam Larson draws tiny silhouette scenes on his leaves:

This Indonesian artist uses strong coffee to paint leaves with:
Ghidaq al-Nizar aka ‘coffeetopia’

Wow!
Take a look outside.
Take a short walk, even if it is just down your driveway
Or around the block.

Enjoy the Leaves!

Why not invite someone else to go on the walk with you?

And the bits of silken down
Float off upon the autumn breeze
Across the meadows brown."

seeking successive autumns."

'Come', said the wind to the leaves one day,
'Come o're the meadows and we will play.
Put on your dresses scarlet and gold,
For summer is gone and the days grow cold.'
