My Four Seasons (ENG)

Bold colors bring the nuances of each of the four seasons to life: the autumnal foliage in its gold and red glory; the crisp white of winter months; the bright yellow of a summer sun; and the green and floral palette of fresh spring landscapes. As the pages of My Four Seasons turn, so do the seasons. A traipse through a city buried in snow leads to a scene of springtime renewal. Before summer arrives, My Four Seasons portrays the planting to be done before a plentiful harvest. BBQs and lakeside outings paint a backdrop of summer leisure soon to be usurped by autumn winds and Halloween fiends. As all is a cycle, winter returns to begin Mother Nature’s seasonal tale once more while its white quilt covers the ground, welcoming slumber to both reader and foliage.  Born in 1982, Dawid Ryski resides in Pulawy, Poland.
