Your digital entries always amaze me. The colors of this one rival with the textures you have created. Love it.

Just gorgeous! Love the play of color and light that holds even through your textures.

Kat W said...

This is gorgeous - one of my favourites. The textures and warm colours seem to express emotion and passion. This would make a beautiful inspirational piece for hanging on the wall or/and as a greeting card.
Fab!

This one is my favourite of these few that are showing up while I try to catch up with what you have been up to... I love the composition and colour palette, though I also loved the spring one... wish it was spring for you, because then it might be a little cooler and dryer here!!!
