Autumn Colours

Cynthia over at A Life Profound made up an autumnal drawing for her Circle Journal Swap group. The wonderful drawing includes a poem by Rilke and some autumn colours.

This autumn collage I made a few days ago also contains these colours. The two pieces could almost be part of a set.

It is strange how normally, perhaps photographically, we often choose the brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows as autumn colours. Yet, when we depict the autumn of our inner being, the autumn of our life, the subtle tones emerge.
