Hey, Fall

Well, Summer has officially come and gone and I have spent the majority of it just being. I had a birthday (yay, me), I travelled to New England to visit my parents, and I spent every weekend pulling prints for a vending event that I had to miss because it was raining. I don't know if you know this, but art-on-paper and rain do not play well together. That's the breaks, I guess. Next year, I'll look for some shows that happen indoors so that I don't put all my efforts into a solitary soggy basket. 
Moving forward I will be uploading the prints to the online shop and reminding people that I will still gladly take their money in exchange for art. 

​There's a part of me that always feels as though I didn't make the most of summer. Like I left so much on the table. And if you were to ask me what I thought I missed, I would not be able to tell you. I wonder if I'm just wistful for the days when the kids were small and I was a mom-at-home. If I miss the long, open-ended days and the routines we would create within them.

I do love the fall & winter season, though. I find that when the weather is unpleasant, I just want to stay home and make art. I love a cozy afternoon in the art studio, listening to music, drinking hot tea, and creating my brains out. Very satisfactory. 
What are you looking forward to, as we head into the dark part of the year?
