Apples, satsumas and rose hips.

Today is one of those autumn days that’s as crisp as an apple. I’ve been playing around with my camera and water colours, drawn to a bold and fiery colour palette, textures and contrast. Quite different from last week’s romantic, dreamy Full Harvest Moon Dreamboard and Montage.

I’m planning a new collection in the series of Luminous Folder Icons, inspired by autumn and Halloween. This time in hot, spicy shades of orange and cayenne, perhaps adding some earth tones with cinnamon, umber, ochre, and sienna.

And best of all, finally satsumas are in season! Zesty, sweet and tangy taste of sunshine, with that light spray of satsuma oil as you peel them.

A beautiful gift from online friend Anna of Beyond 56 Days.
