Season of Change

There is this feeling of change in the air, a change of colours and a change of the light. Its an early autumn, so they say.  So I set out to catch this season of change.

The picture you see here - Feather Fall - is based on the special flavour of the Quantock Hills area in Somerset, its unusual colours and beautiful rolling hills. 

One of the things that have come to my mind as I worked on this picture is that change sometimes happens like the fall of a feather - as light and soft - but come it will. And it comes with all the challenges and opportunities that changes bring. With the falling feather the expression of the drawing transitioned. What had been an idyllic landscape displaying summer turning to fall developed a different dynamic. It now holds the movement of the feather in time - the unfolding change. 

During the flow of my work the appearance of the falling feather brought a sense of expectancy to me. The promise that there is the One who will walk by my side through all the seasons of my live, through all the changes. In the flow of change there is one safe haven - knowing Him - Jesus.

To all things there is an appointed time, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1, GNV

He will cover you with his hand and 
under his wings you will find refuge.
His Truth is your shield and armour.

Psalm 91:4, GW
