It’s Never too Late to Begin Again

I loved watching fallen leaves skate across the new ice today. As a painter of landscapes, I’m always tuned in to the weather. Wind, sun, temperature, clouds—they’re always changing and challenging those among us who like to do plein air painting. My friend was looking for a rock to drop from the bridge. The ice is about 1/8 inch thick today and I think it’s here to stay until spring.

I used to daydream about living in Paris, France and painting or working as a fashion designer. Art and home economics were my favorite classes in high school. I filled the margins in all my notebooks with drawings of slender, faceless women wearing what I assumed was high fashion.

I grew up around people who cast their fishing lines from boats in summer and dropped their lines through holes drilled in lake ice when winter settled over Minnesota.

Making slow progress on this painting.

I checked out a new place to paint today. Afton State Park. I felt rusty!! And the 6x8 in panel felt small, because I’ve been working on a little bit larger panels in my studio. It’s a start, though. It was a great ☀️day to be painting outside.

Cool nights and the earthy smell and soft crunch of fallen leaves underfoot are but two of my favorite things about autumn here in Minnesota. Enjoying a cup of hot tea on the deck in the afternoon is another.

Creative Living

Creative living is any life you live where your decisions are based more strongly on your curiosity rather than on your fear.

To suppress a truth is to give it force beyond endurance.
