Meanwhile, Seasonal Changes

Both paintings will be submitted to the Copley Society's juried member show, Seasonal Changes. In this thematic show, to be held July 29 through August 29, artists are asked to depict various interpretations of seasonal changes and variations. The cranberry bogs immediately came to mind for me as a perfect visual for seasonal change. When spring arrives the brown winter bogs turn a deep alizarin red.  Then, as the berries form and ripen and ready for harvest in the fall, the color becomes more pink and crimson.
