The Seasons change and life goes on.
There are beginnings and endings amongst these times.
We have new things to look forward to and old things, now to be remembered.

Time passes and each day has many wonderful and sad things to offer us.
How we deal with these things is up to us.
I am a positive thinker, I always have been.
I look forward to the seasonal changes.

Fall has always been my favorite season of the year.
It is crisp, warm, colder and fresh.
There are less bugs/insects, and the air is always refreshing.
And the Joy of colour it offers us.
Nothing can beat the beauty of Fall.
I hope you like this one.
A simple reflection of how I feel about September this year.

"The Sun Rose Behind The Trees"

"The Sun Rose Behind The Trees"

Acrylics and Tar Gel
Birch Panel
24" X 24"

The Sun rises Behind the trees, and the whole scene lights up like they were illuminated with Gold.
In Northern Manitoba along the lakeshore, for the most part, the trees are Poplar and Birch.
They are never so thick that they cannot be walked through but in all tend to be pretty dense.
When looking East one often can see patches of the sky behind them, and the trees while fully grown,

 often have very tall trunks before the branches spread outwards.
The tops of these trees reach for the Sun.
Those that don't get that high die off.
When the Morning Sun appears it casts a glow and enhances the green leaves on the canopy, and highlights the trunks.
It is almost magical.
I hope you can see what I was trying to express in this painting.
