It's been crazy busy the last few weeks. Life has gotten hectic with both planned events and the unexpected curveballs that usually come flying out of nowhere when one is already feeling maxed out. Things are looking up though, and I'm anticipating some much needed studio time coming up. I love this time of year, before the rush of the holidays start displacing studio time.

I did have the opportunity to dust off my little French easel and take it out on site. A friend and I packed a lunch and headed out to a favorite spot of mine. It was gorgeous and we vowed to come back as soon as we could. It got me back into the practice of painting outdoors again, which I really love. There's something about the immediacy of Plein Air painting that resonates with me, and it was nice to reconnect with that.
