"Autumn Wind" was done using one of the designs I drew on our recent trip down to Oregon.  Toward the end of our trip, the winds picked up and with the winds came fire.  When we were at Diamond Lake, up in the Cascades near Crater Lake, we could see a large forest fire over the ridge line.  The trees at Diamond Lake were turning yellow and butterflies were everywhere.  I wanted to express the feeling of the warm winds as they moved through the trees and the threat of fire that followed.  I included one butterfly; like the leaves and trees, it too was vulnerable to the autumn wind and fire.
