Itching to take some art courses

Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I blogged. Summer has gone very fast. A trip to Newfoundland in July has left me with lots of ideas for new paintings, some of which I have started. And doing demos at the Navan Fair I hope were inspiring to those who visited. I was certainly inspired by those who chatted with me, and I have some new ideas for the fall for my cards. I'll be demo'ing coloured pencils at Fall Fest in Navan in October - something I think some of the kids may like to try.

And with the cooler weather in the mornings, there is a hint of fall in the air. September for me has always been a favourite month, a month when I've often taken on new projects or taken courses.

And I've got the itch to take some art courses. Not sure yet what I will take, but I've started looking and one or two will hopefully speak to me. Perhaps it will be abstract painting, perhaps an entirely new medium for me.

And Artisan Day with me friends is set to start again in September. We get together once a month for a day of working on our projects, sharing with each other and sometimes even learning new techniques. Not to mention the wonderful food that we share for a potluck lunch.
