Thank you so much, Jack, for appreciating this Fall piece with me! Your generous comments and support are greatly appreciated!

A pleasing combination of color and blends, I enjoy how this piece is worked;)

Thank you, Chris! I am glad that you can appreciate this Autumnal work with me! Yes, the symbolism found in Fall or Autumn of how everything cycles--starts to die back in the Fall, winter over (becoming dormant) and then in the Spring, comes back to newness of life--can have profound and deep symbolism not only for the cycles we find in this life, but for the one in the next life (Eternal Life)! Thank you for the compliment and your awesome support!

Thank you, Debbie! The message of "life" or "rebirth" and "cycles of change" are very apparent here in this work! To me, they are not contradictory, as I believe that from dust we came from and dust we will go back to, until to the appointed day of Judgment when we will rise again with a new body (Genesis 2:7, Genesis 3:19, I Sam. 2:8, Eccl. 3:20, 12:7, Isaiah 2:10, Isaiah 26:5, 26:19, Daniel 12:2, )! It is my belief that we serve an all powerful God and that there is nothing that He is not able to do...including reconstituting the body! However, our spirits live on after death!

What a beautiful painting and description! The circle and cycle of life is amazing! Or God truly is the Master Creator! f/love!! :D

Thank you, Joe! I think that you have to love this time of the season, Autumn, to really enjoy all of its beauty and splendor! The colors of Autumn are so breath-taking! From the time I was a little girl, I have enjoyed nature walks during this season and always end up bending over many times to gather a collection of leaves, so that I can study their intricate patterns and appreciate their many colors! I plan to keep on doing this even if I live to be a 100! Thank you for your compliment and support!

the warmth of colors and detail are what i enjoy about this painting f/v

A fascinating picture Kimberlee. Fave

Thank you so much, Nina, for your thoughtful comments! I really appreciate it! This is one of my favorite paintings, not just because I love Autumn colors, but this single fallen leaf holds a lot of symbolic meaning for me--poetically expressed, it is as if it is "Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile." (quote from William Cullen Bryant).

Beautiful! Love the trees on fire in the bg and the warm nice color on the fallen leaf on the forest floor. Nice complimentary color and beautiful scene.
