Today’s featured art is Billowing with Autumn by Danica Partin

This photo of a tree is a very artistic composition with ridged bark, colored leaves, brown branches, plus blue and white sky.

At first glance I almost thought abstract, with the colors and shapes. A closer look showed the details of the tree and leaves. Isn’t nature amazing in the colors and shapes it produces?

The photographer has really captured a great image in this picture. I think this would be a wonderful framed print that would be sure to attract attention.

Today’s featured art is Autumn at the Lake(1) by Autumn Thomas

A lovely fall scene with still water, colored leaves, and a picnic table near the shore. This is beautiful with trees showing their fall colors along with the blue sky and water. It makes me think of taking a nice walk along the lake or sitting down for a picnic and enjoying the day. A print will bring happy thoughts all year round, every time you see it.

Today’s featured art is Rust by Dave Tranovich

This old rusty tractor looks like it has seen better days. The rusty brown of it’s twilight days matches the brown fall leaves and trees.

Isn’t it amazing how something old and ugly, in some ways, can make a striking image when captured by a good artist or photographer?

The photographer has done a nice job of capturing the stark beauty of this old rusty farm tractor in this rural scene.

Prices for Rust begin at $16.13, subject to change.

Wow!!! When I saw this gallery I just had to feature it. The paintings of ocean waves hitting the shore are amazing. The colors and shapes jump right out and catch the eye.

The other works have wonderful composition and colors, making them very attractive. The flowers are lovely and the autumn colors make beautiful paintings.

I love finding artwork like this and adding the artist to my list favorites!

Mount Teide on a very clear winter day on November 11, 2006. The photo was taken at an altitude of 2,200 meters (7,200 feet). Well above the cloud layer in the North of the island (right side on the photo). You also can see the neighbor island Las Palmas on the horizon in North-West direction.

Teide is the highest mountain on Spanish territory and the highest mountain of any Atlantic island with an elevation of 3,718 meters (12,198 feet) above sea level and approximately 7,500 meters (25,000 feet) above the adjacent sea bed. This makes Mount Teide the third highest mountain on any volcanic island.

Tenerife itself is the third largest volcanic island on Earth and recently United Nations Committee for Disaster Mitigation has designated Teide as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, because of its proximity to several major towns and the nearby city of Puerto de la Cruz.

That's where I have decided to live. At the bottom of the most dangerous volcano on Earth.

This early experimental abstract digital piece of work portraits the vibes of living on a volcano like I do. The spectator is allowed to be carried away by an vibrant colors of the islands.

* Are there shock waves?
* Volcanic lakes somewhere in the crater?
* Is the Atlantic Ocean sucking it all in or spilling it out?

Most viewers agree that it looks like a dangerous place to be. But there is also some silence that can be felt after a while...

Each Island seems to float over the fine textured blue of the Atlantic Ocean.

There lies a subtle power in this oil painting. A sharp breeze plays with the grass, the water, and the clouds. There might be a thunderstorm on its way.
