simple pleasures

 

 Here are a few simple pleasures I enjoyed this weekend.
The last rose of the season from my Mother's garden.
 
 


 

Fall's foliage
 
  A late afternoon walk
 
to view autumn's fading beauty.
Preparing the garden for it's winter rest.
 

 
A finished painting.
 
Thanks for letting me share these simple pleasures
with you.
 
God Bless!

  2. Soft and pretty is what I would say about the apples too. Just truly lovely, Debbie. I too love the autumn colors and the autumn smells. They combine to make this such a favorite season that I long for it year round.

  3. Hi Debbie, These are so nice to see, as you know here in Florida we don't have this.. oh a few trees lose the leaves and another few do turn a bit .. but nothing like this.
    Your apple painting is so good, I wish you would show more of your art ...hugs, thanks for sticking by me.. BJ

  4. I love the subtle colours in your painting. I wish there was some fall foliage to enjoy here but that is something we never get to experience around these parts.

    The colours on the trees are fabulous and everywhere looks so pretty. I loved your branch with the apples from your tree and how nicely you painted it. It is always interesting to see other peoples paints and colour palette, that they use , thanks for sharing yours and I enjoyed seeing your artwork.
    Hope you enjoy more lovely AUtumn days,.

  12. Nice to see the progression of such a lovely painting. I always think there is something magical about butterflies. It takes me back to actually seeing the metamorphosis take place when I was at school. Complete AWE!
    The last rose from your mothers garden is gorgeous.
