Only a bit early for "Auld Lang Syne"

Since the store Christmas displays started before Halloween this year,  I'm only a bit off in the title of this week's post. 

I have a new flat file which means that many stacks of old works and materials are being resorting.  Many very old friends, "auld lang syne", have reappeared.

This pastel entitled "Autumn Lament" was a plein air piece done in October 2012.  At the time I really felt the loss of the summer as well as the passing of my beloved bulldog.  This is a spot where we often went on our walks.

Although this was chosen to be part of a regional art guild exhibit, I think the subject matter is probably too much in a minor key to make it saleable.
