Autumn is an exquisite season. My senses are on overload. My eyes are nurtured by colors, my skin absorbs the shift in the temperature, welcoming the feel of soft sweaters. The tastes and textures delight; crisp apples, spicy pumpkins, fresh crusty bread with steaming tomato soup! I hear the swaying sound of wind in the trees, and rain on the  roof.  I inhale the fragrance of the earth as it drinks the rain into dry soil. The smell of a wood fire invites me to its warmth. All these sensations, feelings, and memories were blended into colors on my palette, and this painting came to be. Deep in my soul an ever deeper sense of wellness and contentment stirs. This is how God designed the seasons; trees that faithfully blossom and bear fruit now wave their branches, bright with color. Every day is a basket filled with beautiful bounty, and thank you for sharing it with me!

“Oh give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” Psalm 107:1
