I am starting to write this on a gloriously sunny November morning. My dogs and I have just been for a walk along the seafront and the sea is very calm. The sun was bouncing off the sea and one could have been fooled into thinking it was summer.
That's what I like about autumn - the contrasting days. One day you feel like winter has arrived the next it's back to sungasses. (If you are lucky)
Being a painter that draws inspiration from nature in this season I feel very lucky. Nature offers so much to the artist and photographer alike.
Of course the unarguably best part of autumn is how the temperature changes nature. The leaves have got to be one of the marvels of the natural world.
A gorgeous palette of rich and changing colours to inspire anyone. Russets mix with ochres. Mustard mixes with mocha and caramels. Burgundy and bright poppy red mixes with sap green. Yellows and golds mixing with earthier greens and umber.
Natures own colour wheel.
I feel that autumn really does make you feel alive! If you can let your senses take you for journey. Go to a local park or woodland area, or even a field or hedgerow. Use all of your senses to fully enjoy autumn. Look at the different shades around. Hear the wind whip up the fallen twigs. Touch the chestnuts and pine cones dropped on the floor. And breathe in the changing air that autumn brings with it.
I hope you have enjoyed this short BLOG.
Thank you for reading.
More paintings next time!
time you enjoy wasting was not wasted
