First Feature of the Year
I live in a place which is still reeling from the "polar vortex." This is my first time writing about it in the social media. I didn't post pictures of my backyard with snow piled up in hillocks, my patio rails where two feel of snow stopped me from watching the squirrels, no screenshots of weather reports, no playing the "whose winter is biggest?" game.
I spent some of the winter in California and Arizona where the weather was beautiful. Mostly blue skies, temperatures ranging from 75-55...a floating frangipani sun. I also went to Utah where my home is and watched a very frozen lake and tall snow capped mountains from my living room. Then I
End of Fall
Fall is over in Western Michigan. Tornadoes, strong winds, dark clouds, frost and snow showers have engulfed us. I am looking out of my office window at the crisscrossing leafless branches and reflecting on the abstract art in nature. What do these branches, looking like monochromatic minimalist art, represent? Emptiness or fulfillment? Chaos or order? Loneliness or intricate networks?
Today I am featuring "fall," the season, known as "shorot," or autumn where I was growing up, through beautiful abstract art. The following are the winning entries and entries that received honorable mention in #Abstract-Painting (https://www.deviantart.com/abstract-painting)'s fall contest.

Fall Art and Contest
It is fall, and the leaves are changing color. The fluffy white clouds in a brilliant blue sky reminds of autumns of my childhood, in a different continent oceans away. To celebrate this beautiful season of festivals, goddesses, ghosts and art, here is a feature showcasing art in warm, brilliant colors.
Also, our group #Abstract-Painting (https://www.deviantart.com/abstract-painting) is holding a contest. Please participate and spread the word around. Both traditional and digital works eligible!:thumb404461049:

Updates, Downdates.
The reason for my prolonged absence and significantly less "deviance" has been my new tenure track asst. professorial job. Someone recently addressed me as an ass. professor. I sincerely hope that that was a typo. Typos can be embarrassing. I bet I didn't get two of my favorite jobs (all of them in the Southwest) due to a typo I made in some application letters. Saying I teach "curses" on gender and new media doesn't look good for a potential employee. I missed the "u" somehow. So I ended up in the Midwest.
I am now in Michigan, working at a new job, a long distance marriage and some academic publications. Have not been able to visit :deva
