Autumn's Grace

For me autumn is a visual treat. It is full of warm, rich colours falling from trees, adding fire to the cold days. It is like nature reminding us to wrap up for the winter. Before I started painting, the coming of autumn was a sign for me that winter was coming. Short days and long dark nights used to get me depressed. In the UK the skies darken around 4pm by the end of October. This continues all the way to February. As a person who enjoys warm days and walking for miles, winter for me was
gloomy and grey. I missed the sunny days full of colour and vibrancy. 
 
However, since I started painting, I can appreciate tiny nuances in our environment, like water droplets changing into diamonds as they trickle off icicles. I even noticed the intelligence of animals as they get ready for the winter through collecting food, migrating or going on a long sleep.  I become aware of the roaring fireplaces warming the homes and hearts of the warriors after battling with the bitter cold evenings. Now I have come to the conclusion that even winter has its own beauty. It is a promise of life, reincarnation of nature, when the sleeping will soon awaken.

Well I thought it would be a good idea to celebrate autumn and its glory by producing a series of paintings. I have just about finished my first one. Here is a sneaky peek, enjoy. Don't forget to watch the amazing video about the awesomeness of
autumn. You will love it. :D :D
