Caution:Artist at Play-Artwork by Shana Rowe Jackson

I have to say Autumn is my most favorite season of the year!! The gorgeous leaves, no humidity, even temperatures. The colors are wonderful, the smells are intoxicating. Pumpkins, Candy, Apples, I love everything about this season.  This year I have been particularly inspired. From Halloween, to fallen leaves, here are a few of my newest fall paintings done this year, and there are more on the way!!! "Free as Autumn Leaves" "Trick or treat?" "Fallen from Grace" "Morning after Autumn rain" "Pumpkin Palooza" "Life is Golden" Here are a few of my old favorites inspired by fall!! "Self Portrait 2" 2011 "New England Drive" 2011 "When October Comes" 2012 "I'll be the teachers pet for sure!!" 2012 "What's for dinner?" 2012 "I want THAT one Mom!!" 2012 "Thanksgiving Dinner" 2011

Since August is here and there are no holidays to speak of this month I thought it would be fun to celebrate the holidays that are fast around the corner. I love the holidays, and each one has it's own special traditions. I also love doing holiday themed work!! Here are a few of my favorite paintings representing my favorite holidays. Hopefully this will help get you in the spirit to celebrate the upcoming holidays!! My favorite holidays to paint in order of where they fall in a calendar year- New Year's Eve/Day- Valentines Day- St. Patrick's Day- Easter- Independence Day- Halloween-  Thanksgiving-  Christmas-
