Autumn into Winter...a time to remember, to hold dear those
close to us, to revel in the golden moments and to slow down the pace

As some of you are aware, I volunteered during the recent Presidential campaign here in the states, got a new puppy, and started working after almost a year
off. Time has been a precious commodity, but I have been able to take a breath the last week, do some painting, and get back to DA in bits and pieces.

Two wonderful artists recently featured my work. A big thank you to Fractaleyes and dwk61


Thanks to all of you for hanging in there with me. You are very appreciated

So in this season of counting blessings I offer the following wonderful works from a collection I put together:Hopeful Harvest jillianelf.deviantart.com/favo…

I am constantly inspired by the artists on this site...
I thought that periodically I would
feature some of the works that have
inspired and delighted me.
These wonders are not in any particular order
or within a particular timeline,
but they are well worth the view!
Thanks to all of you for your support
and for continual inspiration.

For all my fellow abstract artists, there is a great theme/challenge going on at   Abstract Deviants.  This club has been around for quite awhile, but has been out of commission for almost a year.  

Recently,volcomchick took over the administration and has done a lot of work getting the club back up and running in the last month. As the club has been down for awhile, I thought I would give you the news so you can go on over and check them out. You can submit a work once a week there.

Abstractdeviants theme/challenge this month is Black and White. It is a wonderful opportunity for all of you to dust off an abstract you have in grayscale, or create a new piece to meet the challenge. Any genre of abstract is accepted, so if you are a 3D artist or photographer don't hesitate to participate.  

volcomchicK has listed all the particulars on .   I have met and viewed so many wonderful abstract artists here at DA, I have no doubt the competition would be spectacular! I found the theme a bit of a challenge, hanging on to my color . But it was fun to try to do something different. So skip on over and submit a piece of work when you get a chance.


There is another great abstract club here on DA run by Peggy Minton, 4bstr4ct4rt . Peggy's work was recently featured as a Daily Deviation.

Abstractography has just opened it's doors to abstract and surreal artists of all genres. They have wonderful features and a GREAT chat.

All of these folks are doing a wonderful job providing communities and features for abstract artists on DA. Give them a look,some participation and a little DA love

And to all of you who have taken the time to stop by, I want to thank you for all the support, help, insights and inspiration you have given.

Looking forward to a TON of black and white wonders
