I will soon have a new canvas over my fireplace, and thought I’d share. The Fall color is just starting to emerge in Atlanta. With our drought, we probably won’t have the vibrance we see some years, but a few spots around town are getting very colorful.
Yesterday, I created my own children’s holiday portraits. I’m not sharing many here because they will be on my holiday card, and I don’t want to spoil the surprise.
But this one I just had to share. This will be a 24×30 Gallery Wrapped Canvas sitting on my mantel very soon. I’ve had a large canvas there for about a year, an image of my kids on the beach. I love the shot so much, but the light blue colors of the sky and the sea just don’t work well in my living room. The rich jewel tones of autumn are a much better match for the decor. I can’t wait to see the new canvas there. Merry Christmas to me!

farmer sue - Shannon, i absolutely love the dreamy lighting you are able to capture – it is rich & delicious in this shot. Cant wait to meet your little ones and have a day on the farm with your 2 legged family and my 4 legged friends. I did not have time to post yesterday after looking at the twins party shots – i was racing out the door to get ready for the pumpkin farm day — as i said in my pre-rooster cockadoodledoing email to you — your shots are amazing. As a 20 year veteran of the graphic design world i can honestly say – girl you got it goin on, the combination of vision from your heart and eye make for the most beautiful shots i have seen in years. i cried happy tears as i went thru your gallery and your blog. please know that my farm is your farm. huge hugs from your new friend and admirer – farmer sue.
