One of the most stunning seasons that does not let me stay indoors is autumn. Today as I walk down a new forest path that is filled with crunch and rustle of the leaves I get enveloped by the soaking sapphire-like hazy mist and crisp and bold maple-flavored air.
I see no more flowers, but huckleberries, blackberries and mushrooms are everywhere my eyes can reach, and chestnuts are falling right onto my shoulders.
I hear migrating geese, dashing deer, calling doves and wood ducks on a small pond. Un-noticeably I enter a small clearing.
I am in awe of what I see--a harvest: buckets upon buckets full of ripe apples, figs, pears, plums, cherries, gooseberries, grapes, nuts, sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkins, corn, and melons.
What a perfect day for a spirited reflection! I turn around and stroll through the magenta haze back home in order to sip hot apple cider by the fireplace and paint.

Welcome to my tea-room series inspired by fluctuating sounds of nature, different aromas of teas, unique movements and changing moods.
I would compare my morning painting time to an intense marathon—it takes me anywhere from one to seven months to complete a piece of art.
My afternoon color sketching, in contrast, is my sprinting.
Please, join me for my tea break moodscapes when I sketch an impromptu painting in a few brushtrokes. Under one hundred minutes, to be exact. My brushstrokes are light, and my palette is simple. I do not repaint, nor do I paint over. If I do fix any errors, they are minimal, because I sketch for fun and rejuvenation.
