Gateway to Fall...It's Festival Time!

Autumn...Fall...whichever you choose to call the season, I call the months beginning with September and ending with November My Favorites.  For an artist, I suppose the changing colors are partly the reason.  I admit it...Greens are the most intriguing color that Nature can offer me to paint, but, at the same time as they change with the seasons so does my Artist's Mood...my Painter's Eye.  I have experienced greens from the upper Midwest to the sandy East Texas Bluebonnet country to the juicy greens of the Louisiana Bayous...Green cannot be underestimated.  So, when I begin my plans for Autumn or Fall Festivals I start in May turning the leaves from green to gold, red, russet, gamboge, and chestnut brown. Why so early? Well, of course, indulging in many artistic pursuits presents an element of TIMELINES and PREPAREDNESS.  In addition, there is the summer heat which does not agree with me much anymore.  PLUS, one cannot alter the leafy greens to fully describe the riot of color offered by fall foliage without thoroughly understanding how greens change over the course of the summer season. It is a course of study and refreshing of memory...every year.  Summer dew and hazy country views are all great color compositions in themselves. Thus I indulge my painterly spirit in dawn's early light and entertain the thoughts that evening brings.  The crickets chirp and the June bugs pelt the deck railing and birdsong accompanies me as I draw and paint.

THIS IS THE GATEWAY TO FALL FOR ME...the joy of beginnings and the excitement of endings...Festivals that allow me to share my year with fairgoers and collectors of art and students.  Thank you one and all for the pleasure.
