Breathtaking hues as fall officially moves in 🍂

 

The burst of colors were a last swirling fling before the trees went into the final cycle. 

It was an order Kirby accepted—birth, growth, decay, rebirth.

The Beauty of Seasons

 

The forest had always appealed to her. In mid- autumn, it shouted with life. The burst of colors were a last swirling fling before the trees went into the final cycle. It was an order Kirby accepted—birth, growth, decay, rebirth.

Reasons Fall Is Our Favorite Season Ever

 

Leaves are cool and all, but can we also get a holler for fewer mosquito bites, new seasons of TV, and no more bikini line maintenance? Fall. Is. The. Best.

"Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul." ~Vincent Van Gogh

Van Gogh, she knew, could have done no better.

This Exhibit Gives Visitors the Experience of Stepping Inside Van Gogh’s Paintings

Last year, Culturespaces introduced us to the Atelier des Lumières. Putting a technological twist on the glistening work of Gustav Klimt, this luminous exhibition magically transformed an old iron foundry in Paris into an immersive installation. Now, the Atelier des Lumiéres is back, turning that same space into a Vincent van Gogh wonderland.

She laughed. “Aye, an elephant. And a zebra

and a kangaroo. I’d like to see the paintings from

the artists you’ve seen, and the ones I found in your

books. Michelangelo and DaVinci, Van Gogh,

Monet, Beethoven.”

“Beethoven was a composer. I don’t believe

he could paint.”

Valley of Silence

Celebrating Bach

She closed her eyes, opened herself to the music as she drew out Bach. 

The lovely, complicated and romantic notes from his Suite Number I in G 

for Unaccompanied Cello.

Her mind could rest with the music. Flow with it. Quiet. 

Here was comfort, the mathematics and the art, blended together into beauty.

For these precious moments, she had and would drag the cumbersome instrument

 on every plane, truck, train, to every dig no matter how problematic.

Soothed, she set the bow aside.

"Why don't you play, Kirby?" Fairchild poured a second brandy for himself

and Adam. "It helps clear my mind."

"All right." With a quick smile for Adam, Kirby moved to the far end of the

room, running a finger over a wing-shaped instrument he'd taken for a small

piano.

It took only a few notes for him to realize he'd been wrong. A harpsichord,

he thought, astonished. The tinny music floated up. Bach. Adam recognized

the composer and wondered if he'd fallen down the rabbit hole. No one—no

one normal—played Bach on a harpsichord in a castle in the twentieth

century.

Fairchild sat, his eyes half closed, one thin finger tapping while Kirby

continued to play. Her eyes were grave, her mouth faintly moist and sober.

Autumn 🍂

The damp air, fat as a soaked sponge, the flickers of light filtering through the trees, the

swirl of the oncoming autumn made it all a fine day, in Connor’s opinion, to tromp around

the wood following the hawks.
