Hi John,

Chunky sweater weather, apple picking, and walking through crunchy leaves are just a few of my favorite things about Autumn.

And it's always meaningful to connect the seasons to the art table, bringing inspiration from what we see and feel outdoors to creative projects.

Pumpkins, falling leaves, apples, changing light, a harvest.

Fall is fully underway in our part of the world and maybe yours, too.

I assembled five of my favorite Autumn Art Explorations as a creative companion for you and your kiddo on these chilly fall days.
