At my sister's. She is making a magical garden. A place the Mad Hatter would have his tea party. Took two days for us to create it, as I was determined to finish before I left. #originalartwork #artlife #sisters #artproject #gateart #arteverywhere #gettingitdone #gardenart #originalart #handmade #handpainted

Helllllo Autumn. From hereon, the days get shorter until the winter solstice in December, when the light will begin its slow climb back to long summer days... I hope the Autumn Equinox is wonderful to you. Image is "Autumn Equinox" by #sudierakusin. Part of my "Sabbat Series" body of work, which celebrate the changing seasons. 8 images, each personifies a sabbat with her moon phase, cardinal direction, time of day, seasonal plantings and other symbols against a background color of the corresponding chakra. See the Sabbat greeting cards: http://wingedwillowpress.com/product/sabbat-series-notecards/ or view the paintings on my website: http://www.sudierakusin.com/painting/ #art #visualart #visualartist #autumnequinox #seasonalart #originalart #fineart #artlife #originalartwork
