Recently I returned home from a fabulous trip to Spain (Barcelona) and Italy. This is not my first trip to Europe and I so love the whole feel for life there. The food, sitting in the cafe's, the sense of people gathering, getting together, walking, markets and all the other beautiful offerings of the cities and smaller villages in Europe. Love it!
However, it does feel good to be back home, in solitude, painting in my studio. These last beautiful days of autumn make it difficult to really work inside, however, I read a quote on facebook today - something to the affect "I must go to my studio everyday to at least see if the 'angels' are working there, God forbid if I miss a day and 'the angels' were there and I wasn't".
I'm busily preparing for my Holiday Open House in the studio this weekend as well as doing some 'business' work for my art. Happy to see the sunshine today.
