wet paint...

we had the most beautiful weather this weekend and it is just a tease for what is to come.

Autumn in Tennessee is the pay off after a long hot summer.

so much time will be spent playing outside before shorter days and dormant gardens.

it looks like one of my gardens will possibly be featured in Southern Living Magazine, with a photo shoot at the end of this month (cross your fingers!) i'll be tweeking and gushing over that garden for sure.

fall will be fleeting and i am feeling an urgency to drink it all in.

i look forward to spending more time in my studio, brush in hand, music inspiring me.

these days, i can't seem to get enough of David Gray's tunes. i love him even more after seeing him in concert a few weeks ago.

i thoroughly enjoyed painting these recent works, listening all the while to his lyrics about our
"dissapearing world" and "life in slow motion".

my brush in harmony to the rhythm of his tunes.

music is a huge motivator for me and certainly has a profound affect on my mood.

it is an important part of my life.

something i truely can not live without.

i recently removed my Playlist from my blog,

as i realize it's not every ones cup of tea.

i wonder what you all think about music on blogs?

if you have a second please vote yes or no on my sidebar for bloggy tunes.

thank you.

i hope you like my paintings.

"The sun above the cotton grass

Is sinking down like lead

The seagulls know the truth of it

And scream it overhead

Hold on to St. Christopher

The sky is murderous red

Go to sleep my one true love

Our glory lies ahead

Then we'll be running

Afraid of nothing

Then we'll be running. "
