It is the beginning of Autumn here in Australia and I was inspired to paint all the beautiful colours of the autumn leaves as they are changing.
Painted on a dark background to show off their brilliant colours they look to me like they are almost blowing in the wind. (90cm x 30cm acrylic painting on canvas, painted with Professional Matisse acrylics). Original is for sale.
Colours of Autumn
See the colours blowing in the breeze,
tumbling and dancing, watch the leaves.
Carrying with them droplets of rain,
Each one different, never the same.
It has been a long wait to see their display,
So enjoy them now before they float away.

I paint many subjects in a range of mediums and styles from my studio/gallery in the Blue Mountains. Especially drawn to brilliant watercolours and inks, my work has been described as ‘ethereal, spiritual and totally in tune with nature’. I am delighted to have sold many works, won awards and been published in numerous magazines. Facebook Page LindArt
