Same time last year...

The colors of autumn remind us of the warm days we are leaving behind and the cooler months ahead.  They invite us to remember jumping in piles of leaves and drinking hot apple cider.  They remind us that life is cyclical.

"Morning Mist"  Oil

Morning Mist was painted one very misty morning last Fall behind Skyview Lodge in Brunswick, Ohio.  The scene overlooks the spectacular colors of the valley and orchard behind the party center (a lovely place for wedding receptions by the way!).
