Fall is here...

I have to say, I'm absolutely loving fall this year. In past years, I've dreaded it. I've viewed it as the death of my beloved summer and the onset of the winter blahs. This year, though, the cool, crisp temperatures are drawing me outside more than ever and the vibrant colors are practically a religious experience. I just can't seem to get enough. I may have a new favorite season.

I've been using my Doc Martin watercolors to try to capture some of the amazing colors out there...






head on over to paint party friday to see what others are painting this week.

    Welcome to PPF, Molly!

    Your Autumn inspired paintings are wonderful... I love the scrolling acorns and your letters are fantastic!

    I am having a lot of fun looking around your blog - you have a wonderful way with text! I can't wait to see more...

    Love your oak leaves and acorns, very charming illustration. I've never used Dr. Martin's watercolors, only knew of them for photo tinting. Hmmm...might need to explore them.

    Love the acorns and leaves... don't get acorns in Queensland as we are very tropical here, so they are really exotic to me as well.Nice line work though and I love strong watercolours so much so these are right up my alley... we are kindred spirits I think ... happy PPF xx

    The illuminated letters are gorgeous and so are the oak leaves and acorns.
