Turning Seasons

Autumn Mountain III

The weather has turned and Autumn is definitely arriving. Evidenced by 44 degrees this morning. I'm feeling a bit down that our winterish coldness has started so early.
I am a warm weather girl.

I do like Autumn. The cold starts the leaves turning which in turn provides some stunning views. And afternoons are warmish... sometimes. :) I'm just not quite ready.

In any case, we're planning our annual trek to Heather Meadows/Mount Baker before the snow flies. We try for the last nice weather day literally before snow is expected, which is easier to do when one works for oneself from home.

Off to put away the summer clothes and get out my cold weather wear: long sleeves and turtlenecks and layers. And worn about 3/4 of the year in these parts.

Happy Saturday!

Textured Abstract

Added to my Etsy shop this week...

Autumn Mountain III by Helen H Campbell

This is one of a series I created last year after a wonderful Autumn day with my husband up at Heather Meadows near Mt. Shuksan and Mt. Baker. We make an annual trek the last "good" day before the snow flies (based on the weather predictions) Based on some of the photographs I took, the abstract painting includes "upcycled" lace, mesh, threads, and vintage lace. Acrylic with recycled/upcycled materials.

It brings back lovely memories every time I see it. :)

On the Mountain

So thrilled to have sold this painting to a lovely young couple today, during the Holiday Festival of the Arts. And how awesome that they wrote to tell me how much they liked it. I'm in awe.

Thank you Bryan and Alexis! I hope you enjoy it for many years.
