Happy fall
While it still feels very much like summer here in Arizona with 100 (37.77) degree weather. Youtube has suggested cute Fall starter Pack videos from Darling Desi.
She has such a cute style. I enjoyed the videos and want to make some of the recipes and read some of the books. It also got me thinking....
What fall art could I put on my digital frame?
Here are some of the pieces I picked out. Do you have a favorite fall art piece?
When I think of Autumn art this is one of the first that comes to mind. This is an incredible stained glass window that I go to every time I go to the MET. I get lost in this fall scene with this gorgeous colors and light.

Autumn Landscape, 1923-24
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
This is another amazing fall scene called Autumn on the Hudson River. It is a very large painting 200.7 x 321.3 x 21 cm (79 x 126 1/2 x 8 1/4 in.) made by Cropsey. Cropsey was part of the Hudson River School. They are a group of romantic (late 18th to mid-19th century) painters that painted incredible landscapes like this.

Daniel Ridgway Knight
Premier Chagrin (First Grief), 1892
BYU Art Museum, Utah
I took this picture when I went to Utah in April. It is a touching moment between two girls as they sit on this wall on a lovely fall day.
I don't know much about Daniel Ridgway Knight so I looked him up. He was born in America and studied art in France. He painted peasant women in the late 1800s.
He was also an Olympic sailor. How fun is that?
I was drawn to this picture for the friendship, tenderness, colors and light.
This is a fun piece that celebrates the Day of the Dead (Dia de Muertos) which happens in the fall, November 1st and 2nd.
