Yesterday was the first day of school for kids here. I’ve never really considered the first day of school to mean that fall has arrived, but it looks like this year it does. We had hot sunny weather recently, and then BAM. School starts and suddenly it’s cold, grey and wet out there. I must say though, last night’s weather made for a spectacular sunset, and I just wanted to share with you, this picture that I took from my balcony. Click on the picture for a larger view.
Sights like this are just one of the things that make life beautiful. What an amazing way to say goodbye to summer.
It’s been a while since I’ve written here but man have I been keeping busy. Painting, drawing, making jewelry, and working super hard on getting the website up to snuff and it’s so sooo close to being finished. All the gallery pages are working now and I’ve added a few new pieces, and more are still to come. I haven’t decided if I’m going to add a customs gallery or not, since I haven’t made very many of them in a long, LONG time, but I kind of would like to show the ones I have made. We’ll see what happens with that, but for now I’m going to focus on creating, and finishing up my website.
In other news, fall is fast approaching. This is the last long weekend of summer, and I don’t know about you but I am quite bummed. I usually love the fall, but summer has been so great and fun this year, I’m sad to see it go. I’ve been working on making a few fall inspired pieces to get myself into autumn mode. Here’s a couple I’ve done so far (click on the picture to be taken to Etsy to see more pictures);
Fall Flower
Autumn Treasures
and more will be coming soon. I’ve also got some ideas in mind for some autumn inspired paintings. Although I am sad summer is coming to an end, I really do love the colours and the fresh air that comes with the fall. It’s all so very inspiring and beautiful. I’m hoping that this will be a season full of inspiration and creativity. Bring it on!
