A Simple Sunday featuring “Autumn in Oils” by Nettie
Welcome All!
Today is my last Simple Sunday, as hostess, and I wanted to end it with that same familiar feeling with which I began it, so….I give you:
About the artist: Nettie is another one of my sisters. She’s mainly a pastel and charcoal artist, but I was so excited when she tried her hand at an oil painting. I think it’s sublime
Today’s Featured Art
“Autumn in Oils”
please use only this piece of art for this challenge
Please be sure to credit, Nettie, if you format your poem onto her art. Thank you.
I hope you all enjoy her eye for color and texture as much as I do.
On a personal note, I want you all to know that I have really enjoyed my time with all of you. There is a place in my heart for each of you. I hope that, when my health improves (crossing my fingers) that I can once again return.
Until then, I will be thinking of you and all the beautiful poetry that we have shared over the years.
Now, please wax poetic with me….one more time
Thanks so much, Nettie, for sharing Autumn with us in such a gorgeous way. And thanks to you, Sevena, for sharing such wonderful art pieces with us over the past months and years.

I dedicate this poem to you dear friend!
Thanks again, Nettie, for your gorgeous painting that so perfectly captures Autumn for me . . . .
AS AUTUMN BEGINS TO FADE
Standing at November’s door,
days growing shorter than before,
I watch the leaves dance
upon autumn breezes,
silently falling one by one.
And as Autumn begins
to take her final breath,
her golden leaves translucent
in the sun of this afternoon,
I gather them up,
each leaf of gold and brown,
each one a treasure
as it falls to the ground.
And on this late October day
I went in search of Autumn once again
and found her all dressed up in gold,
her leaves dancing one by one
upon the breezes of late afternoon,
her gown at once delicate and bold,
as the golden sun begins to fade.

PRETTY AUTUMN LEAVES
Autumn and her pretty leaves
Fallin to the ground
Moisten below
For next years growth
Seeds covered
From the chilled air
Like a bear in winter
It will emerge once more next year
