About Autumn―

Autumn doesn't last long enough I think. Only three months, like all of the four seasons, but somehow, autumn seems to be all too short. This I find sad because the vivid colors come and
go so quickly. The cooler weather wakes one up and makes you feel alive and revitalized after a long, hot, humid summer when people tend to get lazy and sluggish. Autumn comes in with a breath of fresh, clean, chilled air and nudges you to get up and get going again.

This painting is by my favorite artist, impressionist  Edouard Cortes. I adore his paintings and especially his Parisian scenes. I learned to paint light from him and a few others, though I am not even partially as good. Anyway, I love the warmth of autumn in its colors, and in its indoor delights of cozy days and nights. I like fall and winter clothing best too.
Tell me, what do you enjoy about autumn?

 Look at the warmth in the oranges and yellows of the painting below. See how it contrasts with the gray, snowy evening? It is alive with warmth. The streets are slushy but the store windows are bright and inviting. "Come in,"they say.
In impressionism, you get the sense of what the artist wants you to see even though detail is lacking.  There is an entire story in these pictures.
