and the Muse is argumentative, it's obviously time to obey her. This in-progress painting is getting darker and darker (reminds me of 2024 generally). Last week it went from mostly red to very colourful.

It's cooling down here...
in British Columbia, Canada, which means more time in the studio, of course. And it's a hodge-podge on one of the tables. I can actually see four books-in-progress on this half of the table alone. You'll note the toilet paper roll thingy is just above that riotous canvas piece. It was not nearly the success it was meant to be, although there are parts of the painty blue and pink twists and turns on that canvas.
The photo above, if you can believe it, is of the same canvas piece that is in the first photo. It makes me wonder how many layers are on there, and how many more can I add? With this week near finished, I'm thinking I can get three more layers on it before the weekend. Maybe? 🤔
Happy week to you all - I'll pop over and check out your week when this is ready to go!

Well that went quickly -
- this week, I mean. We were away celebrating a grandson's fourth birthday which was a real treat. You can tell from the photo that he enjoyed it, too!

In full (fall) force...
...I'd say.
There's just something about fall that pulls me into the studio. Normally, it's the cooler weather, but that hasn't been the case this week, so I'm blaming it on the colour.
I'd planned on using the leftover circular 'flowers' from last week to add to the floral travel journal as auditioned below. I can see that I need some more, though, so that's a project for leftover paper bits this coming week.

Well, wasn't that...
...a summer to remember? The Creston valley was so hot in July that we were sitting in 36 degree weather in the shade as we enjoyed our family reunion. In August, a visit from John's son arrived with showers and the perfect weather for that coastal man. September is so confused that I'm wearing a winter coat as I walk to the gym in the morning, and I'm sporting my bikini (if I had one) in the afternoon when it hits 24 degrees. The best part? There was no fire season in our area this year, and very little smoke. That's a welcome relief from the last five years or so.
I kept my promise to myself, and enjoyed family and friends this summer, with little artwork amassed to show for it. I did manage to play with some black backgrounds on the following 6" x 6" papers. All, of course, were done in an attempt to use the amassed scraps that seem to 'mountain up' in my studio.
