Didn't get around to painting this year's pumpkins, so I am posting this one from last year.  Here are a couple of interesting videos on YouTube about Halloween, if you can get past the ads.

The leaves are slowly transforming our streets to glowing colors, each year  intoning their own poignant farewell poem to summer.  Here is a link to UNION AVENUE 1# walking in the other direction in August.

I am still wandering in Sardinia and found this, to me, very interesting spot where I invite you to travel for a few minutes.  Here is the link to the google map spot.  Imagine living here.  One appears to be at the top of a hill or even a mountain.  The road seems to stop after your house.  Opposite your house is some sort of a memorial space where some cherished relatives are buried(?) (Just move the scene around to see all sides).  If you travel down the road ( click on the arrow and keep traveling) you will see one beautiful view after another but you will also notice that there are no houses for what seems like miles and miles.  So there you are at the top of a mountain with your memorial park and a beautiful view in a pink villa miles from other people.... mmmmmm.  There must be a story here.

This month the virtual paint out is visiting Sardinia.  I spent many hours traveling the rolling hills of this country using google maps.  The country side is quite beautiful and the towns are full of colorful buildings like these in Soleminis Provence, Caglieri.  This spot reminded me of the stark cityscapes of de Chirico.

We are having a few more summer days before autumn really sets in.  The beginning of the school year and the slowly turning leaves give us time to get ready for the bare cold days ahead.  But for now these pool reflections and the boisterous shrimp plant are a visual delight.

IN THE FOG AGAIN

We have been having so many weather changes lately that the fog is rolling in more often than before it seems.  There is something about fog that seems to slow things down and invite quiet contemplation.  

I am trying a new technique here.  Not drawing before painting, just right in with lots of paint.  Takes a long time to dry which is why I have not posted earlier.
