Spent the weekend at my parents' farm in Wisconsin and harvested some pumpkins and hubbard squash along with a rainbow assortment of zinnias.   So much color this time of year!  I hope to paint some more zinnias and pumpkins this week.  Stay tuned for vibrant colors!

With summer officially over here in the Northern Hemisphere, I take a moment to pause and reflect.  Every year, it seems summer goes quicker and the leaves are already turning.  The crunch of fallen leaves, the blue of the dry sky, and the cooler nights, are refreshing after the heat and long light of summer.   There seems to me comfort in the routines and orderliness of autumn.  I really enjoy the organization and hum of the day.  With change in the air, and the cooler, shorter days, I start to reflect inward.  I focus more on my home, on my food, on my surroundings and friends and family.   I feel excited about my art and creativity this time...
