Fall Beginnings

15 Sep Fall Beginnings

It’s been a busy month but not much painting was accomplished … some months are like that.  We creatives can get down on ourselves about the lulls or down times, but I guarantee our Art-brains are not idle. We take it all in:  the big picture and the little details.  I continue to be alerted/stopped in my tracks by the way light filters through the trees, the patterns in reflecting water, the ever-changing gorgeous skies and just plain “life”.  Isn’t it grand?!

I’m thrilled to now be represented by the Zero Degrees Gallery, 525 N. Third St., Marquette, MI.   With 40+ artists included there is literally an art form to warm anyone’s heart.  Great artists and great artwork there!  (A nice bonus is that I sold a significant painting the day after my display went up.  WooHoo!)

This month’s photo is from the San Diego Watercolor Society (SDWS) class last month where I (hopefully) inspired the artists to try painting a “concertina”.  SDWS is a large, very organized, busy, FUN, encouraging society in our art world.   I would encourage anyone to join their workshops, online demos or exhibitions!

Color, shapes and fun is what Kathleen Conover teaches in her workshops.

Until next month, I hope everyone has a chance to get out to see some color in the trees.  It’s one of those “must do” items for the fall.  Breathe in the beauty and our many Blessings.  Breathe out the stresses!  Kathleen
