Back to the Studio

Back to the Studio                                               September 2013

September is the month that loudly shouts “back to school!”.  While I am no longer teaching, I still get excited by this time of the year which always feels like a new beginning.  This is really when a new year starts in my calendar.

It is a good opportunity to organize the studio, take inventory and finish unfinished work.  Perhaps you might consider taking a class and change your routine for something new like moving up a grade.  It is also a great opportunity to buy some supplies and mingle with real students at the art supply store.

Back to my studio there is plenty to do as I have not been there much during the summer.  Yes, I do take a vacation from painting and I suggest you do as well; you will come back in September with renewed energy and a fresh vision.

September here in New England is usually a beautiful month.  The temperature is still quite warm during the day, the air is comfortably dry, the evenings are cool and many flowers are still in full bloom.  This extension of summer days which are slowly drifting away gives us plenty of time to adjust and even change our closets at a reasonable pace.

 

Fall is the season to assess and adjust before the haste of the holidays and the doldrums of winter.  So, get out there and enjoy!
