 Blackberry festival with the wood mice

Harvest Festival in the Blackberry Hag!
Now everyone draws from the full.
Fips and Tini, also friend Snaag
may feast as they please.

So there's gymnastics, hand-hanging,
jumped up, abseiled,
little tail wrestling with little tail,
when rushing to the prey.

Because everyone wants to catch
yummy berry balls,
who falls to the ground in droves,
and home carried on the fly.

But the best hang high
sweetly spoiled by the sun.
Quickly pushed up the ladders.
Cheerful laughter sounds.

Max, the little one, is scurrying about
to the top with skill.
Grabs two in one go.
The same trick every year.

Friedolin and mouse Sophie
start to sing the blackberry song.
Mice never sing happier,
than smeared with blue juice.

All frolic,
others cook or feast,
praise neighbor's juice recipes,
lift some blackberry jugs.

The moon has long since appeared
and softly illuminates the festival.
Blessed with blackberries are the expressions,
when all tired it leaves.

The spider as an artist
 Has never been employed
 Though his surpassing merit
 Is freely certified
 By every broom and Bridget
 Throughout a Christian land.
 Neglected son of genius,
 I take thee by the hand.

first version

All about Autumn is lovely, sure, as a gardener, I'm not really a friend of bindweeds, but as a painter, I love all about this flower and so I'm very pleased about our new bindweed painting lesson at Jean Haines's Online Art School. www.watercolourinspiration.com The small one was my first attempt, the final version is the one above after the wonderful suggestions of Jean to connect the two elements flowers and berries.

That I believe in fairytales is nothing new and so nobody wonders that I love the September theme at Jean Haines's Online Art School. All about autumn, it's colors, berries branches, the gold of leaves around is such a lovely part of nature's magic, so I can't stop playing with new and old pigment, favorites and forgotten.

Color is a power which directly influences the soul.

— Wassily Kandinsky


This is my first attempt to the "Going for Gold: Autumn Berries" Theme at the Online Art School of Jean Haines www.watercolourinspiration.com. It's a little bit messy, and I'm not sure if I like it. But there was so much happiness in me while creating that I decided to share my blissful autumn wash with you.
