Happy October! It’s hard to believe we’re already a few days into October! I don’t know about you, but I’m absolutely craving those cool, cozy days. After the longest, hottest, and driest summer I can remember, I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome in the cooler season. Things have been busy around here. A couple of weeks ago, I attended an art workshop in Marietta, PA. It was especially fun because I got to reconnect with many of the artists from last year’s France retreat—a little mini-reunion! This past weekend, I spent four days painting in Ligonier, PA, for my first-ever "Paint Out." It’s an event where outdoor artists gather to paint in a specific area for a few days, and then there’s a show, sale, and awards at the end. One of my paintings even won the Award of Excellence (2nd Place)! I was so surprised but truly honored. If you’ve been following the blog, you’ve probably noticed things transitioning to fall.
