Autumn in Paradise Original Watercolor with Pen & Ink
I was recently invited to participate in The First Annual Autumn Arts Painting Challenge and Competition on Facebook by my good friend and amazing artist, Jean Levert Hood. I knew this would be a challenge for me since we don't really have an "Autumn" here on Kauai. So, I decided to interpret this challenge in my own way. I painted "Feeding Time" using fall colors like yellow, orange, and violet, and "Autumn in Paradise" is my version of a quaint little beach cottage that one may visit during the fall months. We do have pumpkins here on Kauai and plenty of chickens!

Thank you for blogging the competition, Marionette!! It's been quite an adventure putting this on. We've had more questions this week from artist with no obvious fall colors ( like where I live ) and are thrilled for folks to interpret THEIR fall!
Big hugs my friend,
Jean
Good luck with the challenge Marionette, Autumn in Paradise is great. Lesley
