Battening Down The Hatches

Wonderland
work in progress

Acrylics on Canvas

8 x 8 inch

Autumn is fully upon us here in ole' Melbourne town. My senses are filled with it.


Smelling - potato and leek soup and fresh baked bread, rhubarb and apple crumble. All made by me.


Looking - I'm mesmerised by the change of season, the colours, the early darkness in the sky, the gorgeous turning of the leaves.

Feeling -
the coolness in the air, the fallen leaves crunching under my feet. I've been having fun kicking them about. Takes me right back to childhood.

Listening - to the birds. Magpies, Ravens, Parrots. The noisy ones are my favourites. They notice the change of season too.

Tasting - life at a different pace, the goodies from my kitchen, and a banana right this instant.

I wasn't thinking of a meme when I started this post, but it seems like a good one. Would you like to play along?

  1. This is my favourite Tinnie Girl painting yet. I LOVE it. I think this pace of life is agreeing with you. I have a few plans before my free time runs out this afternoon. I may be back to play along if I get my to do list finished off.
