Dallas Lore Sharp (1870-1929), a keen observer of the natural world and a passionate advocate for conservation, drew inspiration from his extensive experiences in rural environments and his academic background in literature. His engagement with nature was not merely observational but deeply personal, influencing his desire to celebrate the rhythms of the seasons. Sharp's work frequently reflects his belief in the intrinsic connection between humanity and the natural world, a theme that resonates throughout 'The Fall of the Year.'

French Refreshed

Betty Lou Phillips

Simplicity is chic. Despite the grandeur in which Louis XIV and his descendants lived in the magnificent Château de Versailles, extravagance rarely suggests elegance today.  Befitting spaces less assumedly scaled than the palace, alluring, of-the-moment interiors exude a more discreet cachet.  Clean, not stuffy, reflects our culture and the times.
