Seasons change and bring fresh views and new perspectives on life. The change breaks up the monotony of the day in and day out routine. But while seasons play a role in that, one only needs to see things differently...or...more like, "See" the world that surrounds us.
We can watch the clouds changing shapes, the leaves turning into bright rusts and golds, the birds flying on their journey south, the light changes, shadows change; change is everywhere and is a good thing.
Even living in Souther California, we can feel the seasons change. It's subtle, so you need to take the time to see it, before it's onto the next one. Time goes by so fast. Take the time to see what's happening around you before it's too late.

I am working on the ballerinas again, adding more layers and playing with the colors. I read someone used India ink over oils, so I might try that next. There's always something new to explore. I really love how the tutus look so I'm not going to change that. Just maybe a little something on their faces but I want to keep them distorted and vague. This isn't about beauty and perfection so much...more about misfits and imperfections. This should be beauty.
I just finished a large piece for my own home. It's inspired by my trip to Monet's Garden and I'm sure I will be doing more. I just wanted to paint something fun and colorful for my home. Something that makes you smile, but it also interesting to look at. (because it's hanging in my living room I may see something I want to change...but for now, I love it)
