AUTUMN

What with a glory goes and comes the year!
The buds of spring, those beautiful barbingers
Of sunny skies and cloudless times, enjoy
Life's newness, and earth's garniture spread out;
And when the silver habit of the clouds
Comes down upon the Autumn sun, and with
A sober gladness the old year takes up
His bright inheritance of golden fruits,
A pomp and pageant fill the splendid scene......

(excerpt from AUTUMN by Longfellow)

With autumn in the air and the color of the trees beginning to fade to make way for winter's white blanket I created this wall hanging. It colors are brilliant like autumn's painted landscape.

The sunflower is painted on a transparency so that when hung the sunlight can shine through it or when hung on a wall the color of the wall creates an added hue.
