Fall is officially here and new colors are emerging throughout our Midwest landscape. As the leaves begin to change color, the next cycle of the year begins. While some consider the emergence of these colorful leaves as the final blow to the last hope of an endless summer, fall is a time of rebirth for nature. As the leaves change and fall, the seeds of trees begin to spread their seeds, which will lay dormant until the beginning of spring.

Many artists are inspired by a variety of fall colors. The various warm tones of orange and yellow often provide an optimistic and pleasant perspective to the viewer while different shades of red can portray a variety of emotions.

If you look at Gary Bowling’s Impressionist painting, “Thinking About Autumn,” you can find direct influences of fall in this work.

When looking at Mark Cook’s landscape painting “That Glow,” the influence of fall colors is included in the sky within this landscape.
