Framing Fall's Mood
As a southerner, fall’s seasonal shift is always welcomed after the long, hot summer. We dive back into the garden, our favorite hobbies, and crisp, invigorating weather. Wherever you are it’s a time to get hands back into the soil and find what grounds us again. I love seeing this shift around town and online. It didn’t take much digging to discover some emerging trends inspired, it seems, by this stressful year we’re all having. A light-hearted take on our favorite fall themes is the mood. Whimsical compositions set among hearty greens and plush, warm tones is the way to achieve it.
