Autumn Woman


Autumn Woman
Alex Hinders, 2012.
Colored pencil and pen.

The fall is my favorite time of the year — even if it precedes my least favorite time of the year, winter. All of a sudden the trees burst into brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow, and even pink — and then the color falls off of the trees and accumulates in piles below them. Beautiful. Last year I came across a series of trees that went in the order of the rainbow up to green; that’s 4/6ths of the visual spectrum as far as I’m concerned. (I don’t think Indigo needs to count as a distinct color. Sorry.) I wanted to experiment with a color scheme that would invoke this radiant feeling that Autumn gives off and this drawing of a woman standing next to a tree was the perfect opportunity.
