Autumn Memories string Even the kids seemed alien

Even the kids seemed alien as they clustered together into cliques by some unknown method

I love the delicate flowers hiding in the background like memories from past garden seasons

The seeds exploded outward when I pressed the pods under glass during printing

creating cyanotypes from the plants around me

Autumn Memories string Even the kids seemed alienMixed media (acrylic, paper, and ink) 20" x 20" on cradled birch panel Autumn Memories, a 1970s retro style geometric art painting in avocado green, harvest gold, and burnt orange. The colors remind me of my kitchen growing up in California. Doesn't it make you want to go out into the crisp fall air and jump into a big pile of leaves? Or play touch football in the front yard before the big Thanksgiving feast?
