Stumble It! I've been thinking about the fall. It's barely summer here in the foothills of the Rockies, and I'm already looking to September. I am dreading sending my youngest off to grade one, and worried that my prime occupation as a mom will be over (even though I know that they will still need me).
But I'm also looking forward to concentrating more on my art. I'm looking forward to creating some bigger works, and some longer term works. I'm looking forward to getting out and making art in new places, doing my sketching at the coffee shop, the library, or beside the river.
I'm looking forward to figuring out my days so I can get the most out of them.
I know that I am happiest when I am painting and drawing. I konw that my soul sings a song to my heart as my brush hits the paper, and I smell the scent of damp watercolour paper, and hear the sound of the hairs of the brush skipping over the dents and ridges on the paper.
I hope that being happy and productive in my creative life will show the girls that they can follow their dreams, and listen to their hearts.
I want that, more than anything.
