Golden
acrylic on canvas, 10/2024
We have been having an amazing, prolonged foliage season in New England this year due to warm and dry fall weather. I have taken many walks in the woods, inspiring me to paint this painting. Then, as the end of October approached, my favorite holiday, the Day of the Dead along with the Monarch Butterflies' migration to Mexico started to sneak into my psyche. I have used this holiday for art projects for my students for years. Yet, I have never been to Mexico around this time of the year. This scene is not in Mexico at all. The deer is wishing the butterflies "Von Voyage!" for the final stretch to Mexico, I guess.
