Lately I've been feeling scrambled. Not sure where to put my creative energy. Wanting to do some awesome water color illustrations for Peacock Princess--and knowing I am WAY out of practice. Wondering what to offer at the holiday bazaars and such.
Then there was that blood moon. I think it energized me.
Painting from nature centers me. I think I need a lot of centering; I've been painting a small water color sketch every day since, and plan to keep it up for at least all of October.
And walking helps. So first I walked the mile to one of my favorite beaches and painted the bridge my kids used to play under.
Then the neighbor's trees splashed with the golden light of evening......

The Sweet Shoot bamboo I bought by mistake. I wanted a fence up to 10' high; Phyllostachys Dulcis grows 20-40' in a GROVE for goodness sake!
