Tonight the sky was clear and yesterday’s supermoon reappeared in full glory – the earth, moon, and sun are all in a line, creating a syzygy. I had never heard this term before my student Ryan Bromley brought a composition to the electronic ensemble entitled Syzygy. The piece was a success and my husband liked it so much that he recorded it with Ryan for his Tribute CD.

In celebration of autumn color and inspired by the work of nature artist Andy Goldsworthy, I assembled an ephemeral piece of leaf and flower.

I love your Andy G inspired piece. We have a number of his installations in SF and I love photographing them. Beautiful post, Lynn.
Jane, what a delight to have you drop by. Your work is gorgeous, a treat to the eyes and mind. An artist friend introduced me to Goldsworthy’s work, which is fascinating and inspiring.
You’re overflowing with inspiration – abundance is good! Goldsworthy – and all those working in the tradition of ephemeral outdoor sculpture – have always been favorites of mine. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Lynn.
Lynn, so great to know that you are a fan of Goldsworthy. I’m new to his work but find it deeply meaningful. A happy Thanksgiving to you too!
A beautiful setting …. and I can hear the leaves falling in Bill’s music.
Thank you, Frank; today’s wind brought down most of the leaves, but it has been beautiful. I’ll pass along your comment to Bill 🙂
Beautiful images and inspiring musical accompaniment….or is it the other way around?
Thanks Kerry; good question 🙂
Beautiful photos and I love your mandala!
Thank you, Eliza; yes, that’s what it is, isn’t it?
How lovely to see these garden photos, Lynn, and the music was just wonderful, too. I LOVE the leaf art. I do that, too: isn’t it glorious to use what’s here and gather it together in ways that please? Thank you for a lovely post!
Kitty, I’ve never done leaf art before but I am enjoying the ephemeral nature of it. I would love to see photos of yours too!
I enjoyed the piece.
Thank you, tootle pedal; I passed your comment on to Bill.
It was a joy to visit your garden and woods today, Lynn. The music is wonderful, and I love your ephemeral work of art. ❤
Thanks, Robin; it remains beautiful here late in the season. I hope you check out the Goldsworthy article; I find his work very inspiring.
So perfectly captures that last burst of fall energy before everything falls silent in winter slumber.
Audrey, I’m trying to enjoy every lingering moment of color! Your comment reminded me that I forgot to include an image of a found nature piece that I created mostly from fallen leaves, inspired by the work of Goldsworthy.
Oh, it’s stunning!
