Autumn, a time of change and acceptance.
It's always a little sad and I feel slightly melancholic when the seasons change from summer to fall. The term "fall" stems from the leaves or "falling of the leaves".
There have been several changes in my schedule and studio along with the change of the season.
I am very excited to share a four week in person class I will be teaching at The Springfield Art Museum. We will be delving deeper into the wonderful world of watercolor. I love the way watercolor can capture a particular light and mood. The fluidity and transparency of the medium. The unexpected and convenience of a hands on experience.

Experimenting with gouache has been so much fun. I often add some gouache to my watercolor painting, so I purchased a Holbein Gouache set and had fun experimenting. Often times, adding some watercolor to the mix. I had a few mini hard boards and primed them with clear gesso before painting. Changing and experimenting with new paints and methods is always beneficial and fun. Gaining knowledge from one medium can give insight to other mediums and techniques.
Joining a local gallery has been in the back of my mind for some time. So, Formed Gallery in Springfield, Mo. was kind enough to accept my work. My family and I went to the first Friday art walk together last week. There are so many beautiful pieces of art in the gallery, from jewelry, pottery, paintings, and more. https://www.formedgallery.com/
A few more changes are coming and I am excited and trusting that this new season will bring growth, flexibility, strength and progress.
I love this scripture verse and know that through these new challenges, I need to trust the Lord whole heartily.
