While I spent the weekend on another of my annual hunts for red October (and orange and yellow and purple ... the leaf peeping season ; )) ) ... and hope to give it another go this week and coming weekend, I'm adding to my portfolio today (October 17th 2016) a glorious image of springtime daffodils from my garden at our old house in Maryland. I dug up and transplanted several bulbs before we left, but am sad to say though the shoots came up, there were no blooms this past spring. Since the originals of these actually came from my Mom's house, I'm hopeful that they pop back up again this year in all their sunny glory. So ... why am I fooling with a spring image in the heart of autumn? Admittedly not The smartest marketing ploy ...
The simple truth is that I recently ran across the photo (taken in March of 2009) , on which this digital painting is based, in my archives and it reminded me of the art I've been admiring lately by one of my fellow Fine Art America members, Stuart Harrison, and thought it was time to toss it out into the Universe. Here's Stuart's address, which you'll have to cut and paste ...

I encourage you to visit his magnificent gallery!
But the other reason is ... though the glorious but very brief hours of Autumn are upon us, next come the Holidays, which can be very difficult for many, then the long, dreary, dark months of winter. And I know a lot of us can get pretty beaten down by that time of year. It's on its way, no question about it. But to me, if we can hold in our heart some tiny bit of beauty ... hope ... even your favorite song ... whatever works for you ... maybe that will make the coming winter season a little easier to bear.
And so ... a pouncy-bouncy-cheerful little something from me ... To Hold In Your Heart ...
