This is a greeting card on textured light blue cardstock (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") in watercolour pencil. It depicts the end of summer, still warm, as the trees start to change colour. Happy Paint Party Friday!
A true feeling of summer's end and the last visit to the lake. I remember such summer's from my childhood I always enjoy you lovely art, Christine and look forward to more of it~
That's quite a serene image. Summer really is over now it seems. I look forward to seeing the leaves change and that brief period of time before everything gets all cold and dark with winter.
Oh I just didn't want summer to end Christine... you've captured the mood perfectly. Very dreamy. I love autumn so will just embrace it, now that there's no going back! Happy PPF to you
