Leaves a fallin...

Our assignment for my very first art class I ever took back in 2007 was to use a word that meant something to us on our mixed media canvas.

Fall has always been my favorite season of all, so I began to gather things that gave my picture a personal touch. My favorite verse, left over paint from our home, branches from a close friend's curly willow tree, and my "Rama" word for 2007, which was "SEASONS".

My sister, who was my art teacher, was a little surprised with it too!

It now hangs on my living room wall reminding me of seasons past, some good and some not so much. I am now looking forward to the new season that is fast approaching us.




A fallen leaf is nothing more
than a summers wave good bye.

I absolutely love that! Of course, you know I have a thing for "Season," too. If you tire of it, send it my way for awhile. HA
