Fall

I wish Autumn would last longer since it's my favorite season. Warm days and cool nights, explosions of color slowly taking the leaves. The short lived brilliance of Autumn makes it all the more precious ahead of the long, cold winter, which follows too closely at it's heels. Much like spring, Fall is a time for lovers. The cooling temperatures inspire a closeness that suits many people just fine. If you're lucky, this closeness will last for decades. If not, Autumn is still a wonderful season for falling in love.

I finished this piece in order to satisfy an inspiration--not for any particular job.

Thanks for stopping by.

Illustration Friday - Garden

"They knew it was time to leave the garden when the whispers began. Suddenly, the world did not seem enchanted anymore."

I decided to use this IF topic to finish a sketch that I had done in late October. It wanted to be finished, and kept bothering me until I relented. A pencil sketch finished in Photoshop.
