As I am writing this as fast as possible; we have been put on alert that we may be having a hurricane in a few days! In Central Florida, it has been raining off and on all day which is normal for this time of the year. We recently installed a gas generator so I think we will be comfortable should we lose power. It is nice to have a little less humidity, and fall is here. The change of seasons is always good. I feel I have more energy and seem to get a lot more done. Of course there is a lot to look forward too with Thanksgiving next month! My classes at the Hub have been well attended, and we are doing some new techniques with watercolor, pen and ink. I will have 4 more classes this month, and offer them again, January thru March 2023. I am also working on a series of watercolor, pen and ink drawings from my recent trip to Maine. Here is what my schedule looks like for October.
Event: First Saturday, October 1, 2022 at the Hub on Canal, I will be there in the morning working on my drawings. If you are in the area, please stop by to see my artwork and say hello.
