Call for Art: "Fall in Love"

Details

Theme

It’s Fall. Summer sighs its last golden breath; the trees dance in the brave wind and drop their golden, fiery leaves. Pull out the oxides! What do you love about fall? The colors, the harvest moon, pumpkins on the porch, back to school supplies, the flowers of fall, Halloween, Day of the Dead? Show us the love!
