"Colors of Fall"

Image size: W 11" x H 14"

I used various types of paper in all different textures and tones of yellows & golds, burgundy & browns. I stuck in some heavily embossed and glittered letters made from cardstock for the words "Colors of Fall" I wrote the poem in Twinkles cinnamon brown watercolor and straight nib using Neuland lettering on vellum.

Filling the sky with crimson and gold,
leaves scatter without a sound.
Carelessly dancing in the crisp autumn air.
they gently cascade to the ground.
Covering the earth like a warm blanket
of brilliant color and beauty.
The changing of the season beckons
for all the world to see.
