THE THEME:

What does FALLING FOR COLOR mean to you? Are you drawn in by Autumn colors, using russets and reds, greens and golds in your artwork whenever you can? Have you fallen for special colors that are now a key part of your palette? Do you tend to fall for the rich blues and greens of our coastal scenery? Or for the subtle colors of drying flower petals falling to the ground? Does water falling down a rocky cliff show you its own world of magnificent color? However you interpret FALLING FOR COLOR, please share your artwork in this special Community Show!
