die in bright colour




"October is nature's funeral month.  Nature glories in death more than in life.  The month of departure is more beautiful than the month of coming - October than May.  Every green thing loves to die in bright colours."
-   Henry Ward Beecher  


It has been cold this week, and my health has not been great so no hiking to paint plein air. Instead, my brush followed the fluid changing vines through the kitchen window. 


October, oil on canvas, 20x24in, 2013, available
