Happy Fall, Happy October!

I LOVE FALL!
               I love the Colors!
                      I love the smells!
                              I love the chill in the air!
       It is just an exciting time of the year.....!

And I've been having a great time painting!



I'm looking forward to going in all the Halloween stores and putting up all the decorations.

All the wonderful colors of fall and stomping thru all the crunching leaves....


In fact, I'm going so far as to bake a pumpkin cake today.

Yes, you read that right, I'm going to BAKE
TODAY!


I can't wait to get the house all yummy smelling and all orange looking.... :)

So I hope you are enjoying your fall weekend...

 Maybe you too are getting out there and having a taffy apple, or a slice of pie or looking for your perfect halloween costume!

ABSENT! (sorry I've been so MIA.....)

but lots of new art!

Boy oh boy, have I been gone for a long time or what?  I do apologize..
But what has been new..... ooooo, lots of things!

I've been selling locally in a lovely little shop!  And that's been taking alot of my time.  Over the years I thought I had quite the inventory, but I was so, so, 

WRONG! Therefore I've been on a creative binge!

Here's a photo of trying to move in quite a few of my paintings and mixed media pieces into the shop!

I love this quaint little shop in the downtown area of
Bloomington, Illinois.  It's Mary Lynne Garden Shop/Knit Shop if you are Ever in the Area.  Lots of nice jewelry artist, paper artist, baskets and of course knitting!

I've had so many different pieces going in my art room.... I'd just move from one piece to another!  It's actually been quite interesting.  So I finally took quite a few new ones down to the shop last night, and I thought my oh my, I best update my blog, too!

It's been such a long hot... oh so hot and dry summer.  There really hasn't been much to do but stay inside in air conditioning and paint.


My little dollies marched all over my art table, here's a little sample of those... they were quite fun when you've got your music pumped up and just let them roam all over the place drying.  It's like they were having their own little dance club.


I hope everyone has is well.  We are getting the rains of Isaac today.  We have been sooooo dry all
year and now in one weekend we are going to get slammed.  But that's about it for now!  I hope to add more soon!  Squeezes!
