Autumn

Autumn

As summer turns to fall I look forward to seeing a display of colorful leaves. Currently I am interested in the greenish - yellowish leaves of some bushes and am enjoying their playful designs.  Here are three tiny, 4”X 4” gouache paintings.

To accompany these images I have chosen an excerpt from Elizabeth Jennings’s poem called, “Song at the Beginning of Autumn”:

“But every season is a kind
Of rich nostalgia. We give names — 

Autumn and summer, winter, spring—

As though to unfasten from the mind

Our moods and give them outward forms.”
