My favorite season of the year arrived yesterday. Welcome fall! While I haven't started decorating my Florida home just yet, I felt the need to paint a few fall themed paintings this week to celebrate. Recalling childhood memories from my youth in Southern Maryland, I can imagine I'm back home playing in a pile of freshly raked leaves, or decorating our front bay windows with paper pumpkins cut from construction paper.

Living in West Central Florida, we don't experience any tree leaf changes other than our oak tree losing its leaves in the front yard. I long for the change in colors so I painted "Autumn Aspens" to transport me to another place, at least in my mind.

What are some of your favorite things about fall? I remember hayrides, bonfires, pumpkin patches, hot chocolate, crisp cool air, and sweater weather. Things I miss so dearly even after living in Florida for 40 years.
My Fine Art America shop has got you covered for updating your decor for fall. Throw pillows, tote bags, shower curtains, hoodies and more are available with my fall paintings. Just click on Fine Art America to visit my shop.
Starting the beginning of October I'm unveiling "Steal of the Month" where I will select an original painting and offer it up for bid here on my website. This is a wonderful way to get an original painting for far less than its retail value. Stay tuned for the inaugural "auction" starting the end of next week. I'm so excited to offer this to my fans as a way to add to or start their art collection.
“I see
the turning of a leaf
dancing in an autumn sun,
and brilliant shades of crimson
glowing when a day is done...”
Thank you all for taking the time to visit with me this week. The days are moving faster and the holidays are soon to follow. Take time to enjoy this season and all its glory. I am most grateful to have you here. Please feel free to share my website with your friends.
Blessings to all,
Mary
