This time of year everything is bursting with color around the neighborhood. Here’s a look at my favorite spot, which is just down the road from my home. I think I’ve shown you this special place before, but each year it seems to look a little different, so here it is again…looking sort of the same, but never exactly the same. Nature always delights.
The reflection is so amazing it practically takes my breath away. Everything about this place moves me.
Trees glowing gold with sunshine…
…and earth covered in shades of kumquats and cranberries.
Seeing these vibrant colors somehow quenches a thirst, a thirst I didn’t even know I had. Maybe I should include these refreshing shades of Fall in my next works? And you, what colors have you been thirsting for these days?

I enjoy your sense of artistry. Your neutral colors in the Sept/Oct 2013 issue of Somerset Studio have inspired me! The simplicity in the art work speaks volumes and is a breath of fresh air in a magazine so filled with cluttered pages and art. It is THE reason I bought the magazine.

Thank you for your lovely messages ladies. And Julia, thank you for the kind words about my artwork in Somerset Studio…it’s wonderful to hear that you felt inspired by the neutral colors and simplicity. Most of the time I use calm, natural tones, but sometimes I enjoy experimenting with more vibrant colors too. I love that there’s a broad range to choose from…this definitely keeps the creative process interesting and fun!

Now I’m jealous! Where we live, we don’t get Fall. We get hot and brown. It is now in the low to mid 80’s, beautiful days, but no Fall. Things just gradually go ‘brown’. However, I revel in Fall in my heart, and I send Fall cards to friends and I paint pumpkins and bats and buy new paints in Fall colors!
Enjoy every day, and think of me once in a while! Jani

The same… this year, the colours are exceptionally beautiful…moisture and frost in the right proportions have yielded a glorious swath of colour here in our little town.
The lake down the road from your house is so beautiful, and tranquil – it’s not a wonder it is special to you. It’s interesting to me how it can look that way, even when great change is taking place in the trees and forest… change is usually associated with frenetic activity, but in the forest, it’s just the gentle swish of the falling leaves…
