Description
This original acrylic of golden leafing was inspired by memories so many Autumn walks in New England and upstate New York. I well remember being bundled on the back deck, nestled in my rocking chair, sipping a steamy cuppa Assam tea,... watching the maples, nut trees and birch "strip" in a flurry of gold leafing to the symphonic pulses of the wind punctuated by the drumming of pileated woodpeckers...knowing I was blessed by the finest treasures Nature could offer me. I may have captured "glimpses" of that day but the crunch of the leaves and aroma of buttery-woodsy, crisp air and the rhythmic breathing of my then old and failing Keeshond, "Boston" is forever nestled in my heart's art-space. Private collection.
My inspired haiku:
Golden carpet mine
Nuggets Crunching underfoot
B..r..e..a..t..h..e …Autumn’s Perfume!
