October Natural Treasures Challenge: Harvest

This month we have six entries for our Natural Treasures Challenge theme of Harvest. All entries are in coloured pencil with several pieces completed on a dark background. The November theme will be Stayin' Alive and will give participants the challenge of finding a subject that has survived the chilly temperatures and the odd snow flurry.

The theme for our September Natural Treasures Challenge was "Changes". Two of our members, Mary Atkins and Inga Legere, submitted colourful leaves.  Next month we'll be featuring artwork from our October theme of "Harvest".
