Autumn is definitely a time when it looks like God sets up all night painting all the beautiful colors on the trees for us to see. Good job. God loves you and I do too.

I love the picture. It adds romance to the season. I love to bring the pictures of the seasons into my home. I have visions of the other seasons when the current season lasts too long,. Each painter adds his or her own touch to the work and the season. Great work.

I love painting my watercolors
Mixing the paint gives me a thrill
Colors blending in to one
Each season excites me
Autumn I like best
Nature inspires
Never fails
To awe
Me

A well-written nonet and a good entry for the contest. Beautiful presentation, too.

Nice enjambment at the end. I struggled with the beginning a bit because it felt more like telling than it did showing but I think that's just my preference for the writing, not something that necessarily requires improvement.

The painting is just beautiful! Such an assured sense of colour. Just the first hints of autumn in the greens and the sky beyond still blue but without the heat of summer. The thrill of mixing the paints to capture the inspiration of this mellow season is so evident in your poem. I am in awe for whenever I have tried it I seem to end up with a muddy winter brown or worse! Applying the background colourwash is calming but everything after that... perhaps I should not go on! Of course I wish you luck in the contest and if it is judged as a whole, the effect of the composition as well as the words being taken into account, you should do well!
