Autumn Equinox

The leaves here seem to be having a hard time changing colors this year. The weather is so dry, the leaves are just dying and falling off the trees instead of changing to those beautiful colors I am so used to seeing. It is supposed to rain tomorrow and then for several days. Maybe that will help.

Painting this one was great fun!

It's finally starting to feel like fall here. Less humidity in the air. A certain crispness to it that I love. I'm enjoying my online class with Laure - it makes me look even more closely at the world around me. And what a beautiful world it is!
