Fine Art Friday

Hello and Happy Friday!! I am continuing with the fall theme this week, after all, "When in Rome!" Enjoy the work from these very talented artists, I certainly will!

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
-George Eliot



1.) Modernist Painting-Intensity
2.) Autumn Forest
3.) Orange Autumn Garlands
4.) Tree Art - Welcome Change

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

-John Keats


Have a great weekend!!

-Anonymous

Hello! I hope you had a great week. I know mine flew by!! Both of my boys are in school now - talk about odd!! I am sure I will adjust though. Speaking of adjusting, another thing I have had to adjust lately is the thermostat. I have been able to turn the air conditioning off - YEAH!! Fall is my favorite time of the year, so I am looking forward to the enjoyment it brings. Today, Fine Art Friday will help you get in the fall spirit. Enjoy!

Canada Day Facts:

1.) Canadian annual holiday marking the day in 1867 when Canada became the first British colony to become a dominion.

2.) Former name Dominion Day.

3.) Frequently referred to as "Canada's birthday", the occasion marks the joining of the British North American colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the process, into Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867.

4.) Canada became a kingdom in its own right on that date, but the British Parliament held limited political control over the new country, that was shed in stages over the years until the last vestiges were surrendered in 1982.

In Your Absence

Not yet summer,
but unseasonable heat
pries open the cherry tree.

It stands there stupefied,
in its sham, pink frills,
dense with early blooming.

Then, as afternoon cools
into more furtive winds,
I look up to see
a blizzard of petals
rushing the sky.

It is only April.
I can't stop my own life
from hurrying by.
The moon, already pacing.

-Judith Harris
