Opal X is a powerful expression of October Marina, from harvest and its full moon to All Hallows Eve, Samhain, El Dia De Los Muertos and Diwali. The colours reflect this season perfectly. Thank you for your wonderful art and for another Kari sharing of such warmth and clarity.

Thank you, my dear friend. It was the only month that I didn’t ‘follow’ the ‘month colors’. Fall has always been fiery to me. Here’s to a beautiful fiery month – from one fire person to another! 😉

Howdy! It’s the month of Opal 10, and the month that closes with Hallow’een! I wonder what the moon will be this Hallow’een! Well, whatever, I sure have enjoyed my wall calendar with your art. I see the one for 2018 is available now. I strongly suggest anyone who did not buy one for 2017, get one for 2018!
When the year is over the glossy photos are suitable for framing! Thank you, Marina!

What a compliment! Thank you, my dear Laura. Fall can be melancholic but its vibrant fiery colors are so warm and beautiful, as if it’s offering an overload of warmth and color to last us for the cold white to follow.
I just realized that somehow you’ve been unfollowed [just like many of my friends!] Corrected that and I hope now I’ll be able to see you at my WP Reader! Have a lovely October. 🙂

That opal looks like a pumpkin. So I’m going to run out to my pumpkin patch and collect all my pumpkins and carve them into happy faces! Then I’m going to jump in my rocket ship and collect all the brightest stars from the heavens! I shall put the stars in the pumpkins, and then set them all around Mt. Olympus as a glowing tribute to the painter who created Opal Ten. Then I shall toast her with a glass of ambrosia or ten, and think how sweet life is. Yup, that’s what I’m gonna do!! 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨😊
