Hello October
Gee whiz fall is here! It seems that the summer just flew by but when I look back on it I think of all the neat things I had a chance to do and the great people I met.
Early summer brought high school graduation parties and summer festivals. Then our cousins from Italy arrived for a visit - their first time in the U.S.!
I took another botanical illustration course at the the New York Botanical Garden. I cannot say enough good things about the continuing education program. Excellent instruction with options for in-person, hybrid, or online. I prefer online to avoid the traffic. The image above is a mushroom in pen & ink with a micron 01 pen.
At the end of August I was at Hog Island
Audubon Camp
https://hogisland.audubon.org/.
Fine instructors, new friends, and great food. If you have a chance to attend one of their sessions you will not be disappointed.
I am also honored to have several artworks displayed in juried and invitational shows in Connecticut this fall.
I hope you are enjoying the change of seasons while living a simple creative life.
