I haven’t learned this guy’s name yet because there are three horses at Ten Oaks from the same “family.” The barn owner owns one of them and a boarder owns the other two. All are spotted and look so much alike but I’m sure I’ll eventually learn to tell them apart. This one especially since he’s a bit of ham and camera hog:-) /
Oils on canvas (27.5×19.5 inches) (original sold) Autumn in Ireland… and the colours are beautiful. This is a peaceful scene depicting the Irish countryside. However, there is always something about to happen in nature – if we just wait long enough! Thank you to Maria Murphy for allowing me to use her lovely photo as reference for this painting!! As usual, I love to weave a little story into a painting – I hope you like it! Below is the photo by Maria Murphy a wonderfully talented Irish girl!!
.....inspired by this poem “The Harvest Moon”... / It is the Harvest Moon! On gilded vanes / And roofs of villages, on woodland crests / And their aerial neighborhoods of nests / Deserted, on the curtained window-panes / Of rooms where children sleep, on country lanes / And harvest-fields, its mystic splendor rests! / Gone are the birds that were our summer guests, / With the last sheaves return the laboring wains! / All things are symbols: the external shows / Of Nature have their image in the mind, / As flowers and fruits and falling of the leaves; / The song-birds leave us at the summer’s close, / Only the empty nests are left behind, / And pipings of the quail among the sheaves. by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow…...An oil painting on canvas 3’ x 2’ of Suffolk UK Daydream ....

Late October…it had been a cold summer and we hardly hoped for any fruit, but the old stone wall had been kind as in years past, keeping the warmth of the sun in it’s bones, so that the pears grew fat and juicy, hanging so low, we had to tie them to prevent them from falling…then suddenly it was winter and we ran to gather them in…visons of pear jams, compotes and chutneys urged us to hurry before a frost set in…they felt good in the hand, plump and juicy….stored in the root cellar, they will take us through to spring...excerpt…The Old Pear Tree..Janis Zroback Watercolour on Arches Not Paper / Pears and Lace
“As autumn returns to earth’s northern hemisphere, / and day and night are briefly, / but perfectly, / balanced at the equinox, / may we remember anew how fragile life is — / human life, surely, / but also the lives of all other creatures, / trees and plants, / waters and winds. May we make wise choices in how and what we harvest, / may earth’s weather turn kinder, / may there be enough food for all creatures, / may the diminishing light in our daytime skies / be met by an increasing compassion and tolerance / in our hearts.”....Kathleen Jenks, Autumn Lore Watercolour on Arches Not Paper FEATURED IN IMAGEWRITING

This is my interpretation of the “Third Sorrow” of Ted Hughes “Seven Sorrows of Autumn”, which on the surface appears to be a sad poem but I think it’s really a paean to autumn....see the Fourth Sorrow below Watercolour on Watercolour on DrawMaster Paper FEATURED IN JPG CAST 0FFS / MORNINGS AND EVENINGS..SUNBEAMS AND STORMS / INSPIRED ART The first sorrow of autumn / Is the slow goodbye / Of the garden who stands so long in the evening- / A brown poppy head, / The stalk of a lily, / And still cannot go. The second sorrow / Is the empty feet / Of a pheasant who hangs from a hook with his brothers. / The woodland of gold / Is folded in feathers / With its head in a bag. And the third sorrow / Is the slow goodbye / Of the sun who has gathered the birds and who gathers / The minutes of evening, / The golden and holy / Ground of the picture. The fourth sorrow / Is the pond gone black / Ruined and sunken the city of water- / The beetle’s palace, / The catacombs / Of the dragonfly. And the fifth sorrow / Is the slow goodbye / Of the woodland that quietly breaks up its camp. / One day it’s gone. / It has only left litter- / Firewood, tentpoles. And the sixth sorrow / Is the fox’s sorrow / The joy of the huntsman, the joy of the hounds, / The hooves that pound / Till earth closes her ear / To the fox’s prayer. And the seventh sorrow / Is the slow goodbye / Of the face with its wrinkles that looks through the window / As the year packs up / Like a tatty fairground / That came for the children....Ted Hughes / The Fourth Sorrow
