Having spent 3 weeks on exhibiting, writing, and other 'stuff', both art-related and not, I could no longer hold back the urge to paint.

The short and oh-so-glorious time when the leaves blazes in the landscape, a country road, wind rustling the leaves, the sun golden and still warm on your cheek. Just a few days later, the leaves will have blown off, the sky be cloudy, but this golden moment captured in sparkling pastel will stay forever and warm the heart.
