Lemon
First day back to painting in my studio. Only about an hour, at first it felt like I forgot how to paint the panic set in ....really..... LOL . I know, but hey it was only 45 min. I'll see what I can do in the a.m. to fix it. I have set a couple of new challenges for myself. One -- Paint before work in the morning. I really like the idea of painting everyday on a small canvas, one object and with my fall schedule , I have two choices -- early morning or evening after teaching, after which I'm usually spent, I'm open to either. Two -- Learn more about plein -air painting. Wish me luck with the early morning rising.......not going to be pretty. I have three more weeks to build up to the early morning call, I think of it as training. Best to you

Missed the open for Real People 09 a National Juried show, for which I have been co-chairman and chairman for the past two years -- this has been both exciting and exhausting. Time to pass the baton. While resting, I've had time to catch up on much needed rest along with the opportunity to enjoy art history, blogs, facebook, twitter, drawing (ha ha) and attempted to give myself a manicure. Signed up for a city scape workshop with Scott Tallman Powers, looking forward to seeing Scott again and painting in Chicago with my friend Nanette. All the while following Doctor's Orders. I hope to be in my studio this weekend with my husband, directing him with the changes that I have in my brain. (Always a danger). Terry is a good sport. (hubby) And next week to paint. The time has been perfect for reflection, on my work and my life. Conclusions bein...
