It was too late, too cold; autumn here passed away at the time of the full moon last week, but I decided to play anyway.
Then on Wednesday, an insane amount of snow began to fall.

| a few of autumn's last hold-outs |
By Thursday morning, at least 14 inches of powdery snow covered our little Island.
I chose to wait at home for my excellent neighbor to plow out my driveway and didn't get into town until almost noon.
 |
| Snow covered Sing Lee Alley, on the way to my studio which is located in the large barn-shaped building with the red roof. |
It was fun to have a 'snowcation'.
(Of course, Flossy LOVED it).
I think the winter weather has brushed off on my painting!

Thanks to Ariane, our beautiful last rose of summer, for this drawing challenge. Be sure you stop over to her ever so beautiful castle for links to other players in the Autumn challenge.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely composition - my eye loves travelling down the sleeve, then up around the windy swirls up to the full moon. Chuck a snowball for me!
I like the daily drawing, but boy, the colours in that painting Sus :

Wow your fall goes by fast!! tho we are getting close to that same season with a bit of a dusting last night of snow...your painting is lovely- I am especially involved with he shapes and blues and texture as always you do so well!
ReplyDeleteOh Sus, Autumn Spirit shows such a lovely sleeve, bedecked with stars that I imagine give a soft glow. North Wind makes such a lovely dance partner.
ReplyDeleteSnow! Isn't it magical? I know...it is all kinds of other things too, but to me, always beautiful. The name of the Alley leading to your gorgeous studio space! I imagine there is a story to it. Love your art, *smiles* N, x

ReplyDeleteYour winter and autumn inspired drawings are lovely with their soft colors and flow. so much movement, my eye is directed all over the place, calmly. Just beautiful.

Yikes, that's a lot of snow! Thanks for showing us snippets of your little island wonderland. Flossy must be beside herself happy! The seasons sneak into our art whether we know it or not. Your paintings and drawings tell us so much. Love the winter painting! Keep warm. xo Carole
ReplyDeleteOh wow, winter definitely took over the scene! But I like the way you found last autumn glimpses within the snow! Lovely paintins, too, especially the winter piece.
