The poet Stanley Horowitz wrote, “Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, and autumn a mosaic of them all.” Many artists and art enthusiasts would heartfully agree. For nature-inspired artists the fall season offers a diverse cornucopia of colors and textures to stimulate the creative imagination. For your pleasure, The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS presents “Autumn” Art by Artist Members. This was originally published on August 31, 2020 with some additions in 2022.
Light a scented candle, pour yourself a mug of hot cider, and grab a spicy cookie or two, and immerse yourself in this inspirational colorful display of art and statements. In a variety of styles and mediums, these extraordinary artist members celebrate this season’s natural beauty and express how it inspires them.

“This painting ‘Synchronicity 1’ (part of a series) was inspired by nature and the warm thought that all things work together. I always find some sort of bounty or harvest to focus on when I spend time outdoors. The change and flow that each season brings spills out of me in color, shapes, and marks. A random breeze, or ray of light, my choice of moments to capture life… it all manifests in a painting where the inner and outer worlds unite.”
Peter N. Van Giesen
“Autumn returns gently on the southern part of Vancouver Island. Each year seasonal rains refill Bilston Creek remaking the Sitting Lady waterfalls. The local big leaf Maples turn brilliant yellow adding drama to the waterscape. This artwork captures my pleasure of visiting this spiritual site.”

“I love Colorado in the fall. It is a beautiful time of the year with the air so crisp and sun so bright. The aspen are aglow with colors of autumn. It is magical to drive or walk thru a grove of aspen. I am so thankful to be able to paint aspen and try and capture their light and color.”

“I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.” ~ Robert Browning

“As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see.” – Vincent Van Gogh
