This is a big weekend! The Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen will be holding their State Show at Tyler State Park near Newtown, PA. This big outdoor show is a long time favorite in the area and well attended. I will be set up in space 168 (corner of first row).
With so much work to do preparing for my fall show schedule, it was a real thrill to get out today and create some new images. Fall is nowhere near showing any real color, but I found motivation while on a trip today to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. My friend Jim and I spend several hours exploring early fall transitions and wildflowers. It was good to be outdoors. What was really hard to think about was Spring, but I was reminded of it when passing Longwood Gardens staff placing tulip bulbs for next year.
This is an image I made today at Longwood Gardens. Late season asters growing near a huge pine tree made for some nice serendipity. My mind is always conscious of color contrasts.

I like this composition Paul. Isn’t it amazing the renewal that can come from just getting out and creating?
Crisp, colorful, and clean. A super image.
