Hi Subscriber,
Have you ever heard a line from a poem that painted such a word picture
for you that it planted itself forever in your memory?
Here's a line from a poem my sister Kate wrote. (Unless I'm mistaken,
it was for an English class in High School).
"Hush....the quiet snow hath settled, putting a hush on the golden
autumn..."
How beautifully said.
The Autumn colors are just starting to appear here in Southeast
Michigan, so it will be another month or two before we see snow.
But when that line gentles itself across my brain, I imagine a scene so
vivid in its stillness that it makes me almost cry.
I think of the fiery bustle of Autumn and I see children jumping in
leaves piled high, scattering them and then pushing them back up into a
new pile to jump in..over and over...laughing and squealing in delight.
Then the scene changes and I see a soft blue-white blanket over
everything, glittering violet and gold in the early morning sun.
Ahh, how sweet to reminisce.
But let's get back to the Autumn theme....

As I am getting ready to hit the 'Send' button on this morning's letter
to you, it suddenly occurrs to me that there's something missing in all
three of these Fall miniature oil, paintings.
While we're waiting for these to dry, can you guess what's missing?
In the meantime, here's what's coming next...
In Everything Give Thanks -original card design
"In Everything Give Thanks"
Sparkling Watercolor-SOLD
Now that I've got the ART & Story Club letters for October all ready to
send out to members on Monday, I'll be working on turning this image
into a note card.
Just like the "Poppies In The Meadow" cards, this one will be
hand-embellished with a little sparkle and available in sets of six.
The original was sold last Fall and I miss it still, but the one I'm
planning after this one will dazzle you...especially if you love
cardinals.
How good this week felt, getting back to the Quiet Places...inching
forward toward that 100th one.
Tomorrow is our 45th wedding anniversary and next weekend we will be
travelling to the Upper Peninsula to celebrate at an Airbnb near the
Pictured Rocks. I'm hoping to bring back some good reference photos.
Be well this week my friend and be sure to get in a goodly measure of
birdsong!
