Autumn is special, but for me, it is tinged with a sadness that soon the colourful leaves will gone for yet another year. However, I like the fact that you have capture your own slice of autumn beauty forever.
Thank you, Rosemary! The feeling of underlying sadness will evolve in November, when it will start to give us the feeling of "blah", - but at the moment I enjoy the jubilant choir.
I love the cool crisp days of Autumn and the spectacular color of the season. Our color is beyond peak and the leaves are falling. Your art is delicate and precise. Very nice representation.
Thank you, Pipistrello! Do you know the children-book by Leo Lionni "The mouse Frederick"? It is the tale about a mouse who does not - as the other mice - collect wheat and nuts for winter, but rays of sunshine, colours and words - so: dreams and hope." - and thus saves in deep winter the other mice from depression.
I am in-between: I do love a little reassuring supply in my pantry, but also collect memories.
No, this book isn't familiar. I had a look online and had the funny feeling of déjà vu when I saw the illustrations made from cut-out shapes - it was such a popular crafty project when we did art at school as littlies. Adorable book and notion behind Frederick's role in the colony. So, you are semi-Fredericked by nature, Britta!
I love those illustrations too - beautiful, simple, creative. Touch of Japan? Yes - Frederickwise I am in the middle, I think - with a slight tendency towards the artistic way of life.
Thank you, Rachel! Often I am content with my photos, but still have to work harder to get away from drawing "exact and tiny" to more freedom - but then, to be able to start again after many years of not drawing, I told myself: " Don't criticise in the beginning - start - be patient, and wait what might happen, step by step." So: a (further) step away from dire perfectionism... XX
Autumn is my favorite season. The colors are so vibrant. The air is cool and crisp. Your artwork and photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Emma! Yes, the colours are like fire before the cold of winter. I love all seasons, but autumn is always a feast.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan! For us the American "Indian Summer" is a big dream we long to see - at the moment impossible, but still on my bucket list!
DeleteOo, lovely!

These autumn colours are amazing, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThey are like bathing in joy, Tom, a highlight in these depressing time!
DeleteBeautiful colors, beautiful displays.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joanne! I always think that the colours for your weaving are also soothing for the eye (I cannot express it otherwise).
DeleteI love your photos and drawings Britta. X
