It's no secret that my favorite season of the year is autumn, when trees seem to be huge flowers that bloom in radiant colors.
Autumn Splendor is the latest painting that shows my idea of what fall looks like (which it doesn't in the desert where I live!). Complete with some mallards, my favorite species of duckies.
The location is imaginary -- but it's a place I'd love to see. Enjoy!!

The desert and the fairy. Well, not at the same time -- everyone knows fairies lives in lush green landscapes, not arid, hot deserts!! (Although I did once paint a desert fairy cozying up to a bunny!)
First, the desert. This is Desert Visions, a scene from Joshua Tree National Park, California, USA. It's 11" x 14" / 28cm x 35.6cm:
As for the fairy, well, I started on her months ago and then set her aside to start and finish some other paintings. Then I decided it was time to finish her!
So many paintings to do, so little time!! 'Bye for now -- talk with you next time!! Stay cool!!

I finished a painting a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't written about it yet!! Until now!
Duck Pond (note the two duckies!) is a scene featuring Mount Sneffels in Colorado. It measures 18" x 24" / 45.7cm x 61cm. The mountains are close to what they actually look like; the foreground is a mix of reality and imagination.
The autumn colors tell us this must be mid-late September. The Colorado high country is spectacular at that time, and I miss seeing it.
Enjoy!!
