October 2019 Challenge: "October Skies"

"October Pit Stop" by Paula Villanova Acrylic

Longfellow in October 16 x 12 oil by Jody Regan
I love the Charles River as it wends through Boston.  The Longfellow Bridge sparkles in the fall afternoon, framed by the Storrow Drive footbridge.

I am always drawn to a view outside a window. When I was a young girl, my parents never entertained and one night the neighbors across the street had a big party. I sat at my window and loved observing the laughter, the dresses and the love. Mrs. Holt came to close her shutters and caught me peeking, she waved to me and left the shutters open so I could see what a party was all about.
This is an image from one of my collectors and I adore this Room  with  View.

"Moon Rising" 18"x24" oil painting by Margaret Farrell Bruno
In October, the beaches become a quiet place. Often at the end of the day, they become peaceful and calm. A perfect time for the moon to gently rise.
