Hi Paula, that’s a very beautiful collection!!
Colours of autumn: yes, I love them, but only when the sun shines on them. When there’s no sun but only clouds and fog, I do not like autumn. It also means I have to draw with electric light and not with the sun that shines through my window, and my eyes don’t like it much. So I hope it would be a sunny autumn with beautiful blue sky and all red, orange, yellow, green and brown colours, of course!
Hi, Sybille. I use an Energy-Light on rainy and dark days. These are those lumino-therapy lights that feel like the sun. I had to buy one of those when we lived in a dark apartment. Even now that we live in a lighter home, I love to use it for drawing and painting. It is much better light than that yellowish glow that comes from normal light bulbs.
Oh, I don’t know these lights but now I will try to find one. Thanks for the idea!
Sybille, I mail you with some advice.
Oh, so beautiful! I am with Sybille, when the autumn is sunny, it is fine. But I do not like the cloudy wet days. But it is the circle of nature, and I started not to complain about the weather, because it’s wasted energy.
Have a nice day, all the best, Martina
It must be pretty awful to hear me complaining about the weather too.
But there are only a few people I dare to tell to that I actually sing in the rain.
There is something about the colours, the shine, and soft sound of the raindrops that enchants me.
Keep dancing in the rain, okay?
As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to appreciate each of the seasons, but autumn has always had certain charm for me. I visited your Etsy page, and have made a note on my calendar to visit again when I’m, er, not at work!
Many thanks, Sid, for visiting my Etsy shop. I’m facing another move so my Etsy shop will be ‘on vacation’ for a while. It will return somewhere in November.
By the way…daddy’s are always at work, even in their dreams. Just like mums. Only when the children are leaving their nest, we’ll get some rest. And even that is temporarily because later we will have to baby-sit. We all do that with love. That is the beauty of our lives.
I have to admit that I’m a spring person because fall reminds me that winter is coming. Beautiful collection! It’s lovely to see them all together.
Thank you, Linda. Your illustrations communicate clearly your love for spring (colours).
If I had to choose a season for your illustrations, it would be spring. However, your stories have the depth of fall.
They are lovely! The acorn looks quite real!
I’m afraid I’m a bit of a squirrel being so in love with acorns.
