Autumn Accordian Fold  

Posted by Spinneretta in , , ,

So, I wanted to add a few more pieces to Jeanette's Apple Challenge. More because I felt like trying a few things than for any other reason :) These golden delicious apples are locally grown, and the colours just cried out for pastels :)


First try was not so great, but this one came out well- especially when it occurred to me to add a little detail with the pastel PENCILS :)
Then I found my old accordian fold from last year- unfinished. So I added a couple of pages- with a poem from Kate Greenaway :)

The first leaves to turn here are always the pawpaw ones. They turn yellow with highlights of golden brown :)

I picked these up from the garden and painted them :)

That apple is luminous! Your images are beautifully symbolic of the end of summer and the age of autumn. I enjoyed each one, especially the apple pie poem. :)

Beautiful golden fruits you've made. I especially enjoyed the little poem too and it works so well with the illustration. I recall it from childhood and never entered my head again til now.

Thank you Elizabeth- when I drew the apple, the poem came to mind :)
Thank you Raena :)
Jeanette- thank you :) Sometimes the poems just 'fit'.
I had to add in an 'I' though- there was originally no entry for 'I' :)

The apple is great, and the leaves, too. I like the poems, too.
