My time at the King Cabin (part of Ashcroft Ski Touring) was cut short on August 20 when I learned they (AST) were no longer going to staff the space on Thursdays and Fridays through the season as had been our agreement. I could have stayed for the weekends. It was already a colossal amount of effort and having lost their support, I packed up and came home with considerable inventory. What to do with those framed leaves - well cover a whole wall! And thus the Wall of Fall that so reminds me of the same type of display I had at my old Toklat Gallery - the lighting, however, is infinitely better. And just to remind you, these shadowboxed framed leaves make awesome gifts. Here are the four different frames in three different sizes: 11 by 14 ($220) 8 by 10 ($145) and 5 by 7 ($105).
11 by 14, distressed brown
8 by 10, distressed green
5 by 7, walnut
5 by 7, black

And should you have the wall space for a present for yourself, I recommend either one of these beautiful autumnal paintings by Michael Kinsley.
"Filoha Meadow" Crystal Valley Pitken County Open Space 36 by 48 This painting really needs to be seen in person. It is painted thusly: A canvas is stretched on board, it is textured with an acrylic medium mixed with sand, then painted with acrylic and finally painted with oils. It is magnificent.
"Willow Window" 36 by 48 Oil on canvas
Toklat Gallery, on Two Rivers Road at Riverside Plaza
(intersection of Two Rivers Road and Midland Avenue)
