It's been too long!
Watercolor sketch while munching scones. Part of the #breakfastsketching series.
Dear friends,
Oh my, how I am blushing that it's been May 1 since I've written a blog post. You know that feeling when you ask yourself "Where did the time go?" This summer was especially busy with my three year old out of play school and several large-scale painting jobs. The evenings were filled with water hose play with neighborhood children and all things active little boys do to work up a sweat. We also tackled potty training and greived the loss of nap time. Whew! No wonder I'm tired.
However, during the early mornings ( my son is an early riser 5:30 or 6am) I brought my art supplies to the kitchen table and we started a little art practice I dubbed #breakfastsketching. It was a quiet morning activity we both could enjoy before the activities started. I purchased us both some watercolor sketch pads. He quickly cranked out robot portraits and I refreshed my still life painting skills. You can read my story about it here on Steller.
Along with breakfast sketching, I've been in a research mode: looking for inspiration to start a real body of artwork. And will be showing a new collection of pieces at the City Farmhouse Holiday Pop-Up Fair at the Factory in Franklin, Tn, November 13-15.
There have been tea parties and travels this summer too with friends and family. All in all , it has been a refreshing time for regrouping as a family, recharging creative batteries and reviving skills. Even with another Parade of Homes in Nolensville,TN (featuring my decorative painting work) and approaching holidays, I'm looking forward to this Fall season with renewed vision. AND I'm so thrilled to be reconnecting with YOU! I've missed you. I've missed US.
Now that Summer is drawing to a close, let's stay connected. (I promise I'll be better)
Also, I'm hosting an Instagram PROP SALE this weekend ONLY on all my vintage photo props. My obsession can be part of your collection!
